HOW TO YBK

Excuse us for getting a little emotional, but we are so inspired and proud of all of the work advisers and students are already doing to make sure their school communities get a yearbook this year. We know how important it is, and you do too, so we made a video to help explain the importance of yearbook. Take a minute and get inspired with us. We bet it will be the best 60 seconds of your day.

• Send the video to your principal. Maybe he/she needs to take a moment to re-center, too.

• Show it at a faculty meeting or include it when you are asking your co-workers to help you gather photos and content.

• Show your students. Let them talk about their challenges and successes. Bond a little over shared experiences.

• Consider a mini time capsule activity. Have students write down predictions for the year: hardest/easiest/best/worst/most memorable. Seal them in an envelope until the end of the school year. No one could predict last September that we’d find ourselves here.
