Walsworth will be holding its third annual Adviser Academy next month in Kansas City. The event will be held June 28-30 at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center.
Once again, yearbook advisers from across the country will come to K.C. for three days of training to get ready for next year, along with a chance to network with colleagues.
Who was voted “Most likely to succeed” in your high school senior class? Do you even remember?
Whoever it was, that person potentially carried a bit of a burden forward with them into college and beyond into their career. At least that was the case for some folks in this article from The Wall Street Journal.
Recently on the JEA Digital Media blog, Jonathan Rogers posted a list of 118 informative Twitter feeds designed specifically to be a resource for high school journalists.
The list includes the Twitter feeds of several high school publications, organizations and advisers.
Walsworth recently launched a new page on its website full of testimonial videos with advisers sharing stories of how Walsworth has helped them build a better yearbook, made their life easier and helped them develop some big ideas.
The idea behind the new Think Big! campaign from Walsworth is that the possibilities are endless when it comes to what yearbook staffs can accomplish. With the right help from Walsworth, your staff can take small concepts and grow them into big ideas.
Last week, we told you about Beth Pope – the North Carolina woman who lost her home in a tornado but recovered her lost yearbook thanks to the ambitious work of some good samaritans.
Here’s another update and take on the story, this time from local TV station WRAL.
The offices in your school would not function without the administrative assistants, secretaries, registrars and other personnel who man the phones, computers and copiers. These people probably helped you out this year with the yearbook – giving you school data, making copies, supplying email addresses and more. It’s time to show them how much you appreciate their efforts.
Administrative Professionals Week is April 24-30 this year, with Administrative Professionals Day on April 27. There are plenty of ways to show your love.
Take a look at this story from nbc17.com in North Carolina about a woman who lost all her possessions in last week’s deadly outbreak of storms in the southern U.S., but was able to regain her yearbook thanks to the kindness of total strangers.
Beth Pope’s home in Sanford, N.C., was destroyed by a tornado, and all of her most prized possessions were lost. Her 1978 Lee County High School yearbook was later found on the grounds of a business in Cary, N.C., more than 30 miles away.
Fresh air, clean water, healthy green spaces – you cannot take them for granted. The place where you live needs a little TLC from time to time. Be thankful for the planet you live on by acknowledging Earth Day this week on April 22. Earth Day is a great opportunity to add to your yearbook coverage, help the planet or have a little fun.
We’ve come up with ideas you can do to honor the day. You can come up with your own. Just let us know what you’re up to by telling us on the Yearbooks Blog.
A hearty Yearbooks Blog congratulations to all the Walsworth schools who fared well over the weekend in the Pacemaker and Best of Show contests at the JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention in Anaheim.
Four Walsworth yearbooks were among those that won NSPA Pacemaker awards, including the yearbooks from Arrowhead Christian Academy, Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, Shawnee Mission East High School and Liberty High School.
A packed crowd took in the keynote address on Friday afternoon at the JEA/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention in Anaheim to hear sisters Laura and Lisa Ling discuss their careers in journalism, and Laura’s 2009 ordeal of being detained in North Korea while working on a documentary.
Lisa Ling began the address with a salute to Jim Jordan, the English teacher and yearbook adviser for both girls when they were high schools students at Del Campo High School in Fair Oaks, Calif.
