Students gathered for the annual "See You At The Pole" prayer event at school campuses across the country Wednesday.

They showed up early in the morning to pray around school flag poles before class.

Several students say it strengthened their faith and helped them meet other Christian students.

A group of Texas teens started the event back in 1990.

Now, more than 3 million students from all 50 states participate.

The movement has even spread to more than 20 countries around the world.
