Students at DeKalb West celebrated their first amendment right to freedom of religion at Wednesday’s annual “See You at the Pole” event.
Students who voluntarily wanted to attend stood around the new front of the school as the DWS Junior Beta Club officers lead the brief ceremony.
Addison Oakley was the announcer/emcee, Justin Reynolds delivered the Pledge of Allegiance, Ashley Reynolds lead in prayer, Phillip Coats read the First Amendment, and Callie Mulloy read the scriptures. Music teacher Emily Phillips sang the national anthem and SRO Lewis Carrick delivered the devotion and closing prayer.
See You at the Pole is held on the 4th Wednesday of September each year at schools across the nation.
