CBN News recently reported from Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Faith Summit in Little Rock.

Family Council and our Arkansas Justice Institute division were pleased to support the summit.

Flanked by her father, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Sanders spoke candidly about her belief that faith is a driving force behind addressing issues like food insecurity, foster care, social media concerns, and educational freedom.

“I hope this becomes an annual event in Arkansas,” said Stephanie Nichols, of the Arkansas Justice Institute, who emphasized the importance of school choice in education and how the state’s LEARNS Act provides funding for parents of eligible students who choose private schooling or homeschooling.

Nichols added, “One example I encouraged attendees to consider is how my kids attend a homeschool co-op held in a church. If more churches opened their facilities for educational purposes, we’d have more children educated with biblical worldviews.”

“See You at the Pole” is September 25

Besides being the annual Day of Prayer for Arkansas Students, September 25 is also See You At The Pole.

This is a day when students across the nation will gather around the flagpoles for a time of public prayer outside of normal school hours.

See You At The Pole provides students with an opportunity to exercise their constitutional rights, pray for their schools, and live out their faith—all at the same time.

Many churches work with students to host special events in conjunction with See You At The Pole.

We hope communities across Arkansas will make See You At The Pole a success this year. To learn more, visit syatp.com.
