Fellowship of Christian Athletes "See you at the Pole" at the Ranch!!!
See You at the Pole 2024 was a memorable event for everyone at George Ranch that morning, especially for those who partook in it and witnessed the Lord’s Spirit moving through our campus. This event showed what God can do when we have a willing heart and give Him the space to work in us. Shoutout to the following student athletes who were bold with their faith and invested their time to prepare for and to lead See You at the Pole that morning: Elle Collins giving start to the event and welcoming everyone, Sarah Pizzitola leading “See a Victory,” and Olivia Villanueva leading “Gratitude,” Jorley Blandon, Hannah Kimbrough, and Aariona Ward leading with vocals, Carlos Resendez on guitar, both Sarah and Olivia on the cajón, Mr. Holmquist with a powerful message, and Lily Harriss leading us in prayer. And shoutout to all the students, staff, teachers, coaches, admin, and parents who came out to praise, worship, and pray together in unison for our friends, family, school, and nation. May God bless George Ranch greatly!
