Sixth-grade Delmarva Christian student Diego Guajardo prays intently for his school and his community.
Students from Diane Camper’s and Nancy Shoemaker’s prekindergarten classes recite pledges to the Bible, the American flag, and the Christian flag before praying for the community and the country. DCMC prekindergarten students Kaelynn Peet and Sophia Stelmokaitis hold the Bible and the American flag, respectively, before their classmates.
As the high school's Biblical Life Calling students gather around the flagpole, DCHS teacher Keith Stonebraker presents a challenge of compassion, humility, like-mindedness and love for one another. He shares the need to change perspectives and to see all people as being precious and having value.
After delivering a short message focusing on unity and respect, DCHS teacher and coach Keith Stonebraker leads fellow high school teacher Richard Trice and his Algebra I students in prayer.

Delmarva Christian Schools celebrated the 30th anniversary of the See You at the Pole event a little differently this year.

With COVID-19 safety protocols in place, students in prekindergarten through 12th grade gathered outdoors in small groups throughout the day instead of the traditional full-school participation first thing in the morning.

“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.

Delmarva Christian Schools – one school, two campuses, three programs – endeavoring to mature young people to be biblically minded, well educated, critical thinkers as they seek to discover their life calling.
