🙏 SEE YOU AT THE POLE 🙏

Wednesday, September 23 | 7:00 AM
HMS students are invited to gather at the flagpole in front of the school at 7:00 AM for See You at the Pole! This special morning of prayer is led by HMS FCA.

Drop off: Students arriving early for see you at the pool will still be dropped off in Carline, but will not enter the school; they walk along the sidewalk to the pole! 

Students will gather together before school, then break into small prayer circles to pray together. Once finished, students will enter through the front doors and head to class.

HMS FCA Student Huddle leaders have been meeting to plan this event and would love to see our Buccaneers gathered together in prayer! ❤️🏴‍☠️
