United In Prayer
CELEBRATION OF 30 YEARS OF SYATP

Delmarva Christian Schools celebrated the 30th anniversary of the See You At The Pole (SYATP) event a little differently this year. With COVID-19 safety protocols in place, students in grades PreK through 12 gathered outdoors in small groups throughout the day instead of the traditional full-school morning start.
“Even though we weren’t able to meet as one large group, our focus remained the same,” said DCHS Social Studies and Bible teacher Jeff Donihue who organized this year’s event at the high school. “By God’s grace we were still together praying as a unified voice for students and teachers all over the world, our community members, our schools, our government officials, our families, and our friends.”
The annual global day of student prayer is held the fourth Wednesday of September each year. The selection of this year’s SYATP theme, “Return, Restore, Revive,” was based on the scriptural passage found in 2 Kings 23:25.
