See
You at the Pole
by Brittany Brinkman
On the morning of September 21, 2005 a plethora of students gathered
at the flagpoles in front of Valley Christian High school. These students
took a mighty stand and prayed in front of other school- bound students.
See You at the Pole (SYATP) has grown into a world phenomenon. This
event is a time to pray, worship, and look to God. Countries such
as Canada, the United States, Guam, Turkey, Korea, and Japan came
together to worship God at their flagpoles. This incredible morning
of praise and worship has encouraged students to take a stand for
their faith.
Following the tradition of See You at the Pole, Valley Christian students
gathered together to pray and worship. Senior, Michelle Balazs
introduced the theme Bible verse for See You at the Pole, 2 Chronicles
7:14 which states, “If my people, who are called by my name, will
humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and
will heal their land.” This verse expresses the need that the world
has for prayer. If all people begin to seek God, He will heal this
corrupted world.
The many students who attended this event gathered into small groups
and prayed over their families, friends, government, school, and community.
Students who did not know each other came together for a similar cause,
to pray. Prayer can save families, cities, and even nations. If Valley
Christian prays together, God will hear this powerful cry.
See You at the Pole at Valley Christian was a great success. Students
felt the power of God spread over the school and enter hearts. Next
year will hopefully be an even bigger event full of prayer and worship.

Shakespeare, Where Art
Thou?
For some people, spending eight hours on a bus seems like some new
type of torture. Everyone going on the 11th Annual Oregon Shakespeare
Festival trip, though, saw things a little differently.
Coming prepared, all the students had some sort of diversion from
the drive; the neon glow of iPods, cell phones, and even a Pokémon
gameboy, poured out of people's seats and into the aisle.

Two '100 Year' Storms

of the Gulf of Mexico. As winds began to blow, reporters gave horrific
forecasts of what was to come. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 (intensity
level out of 5), devastated much of the United States along the Gulf
Coast.
