It’s that time of year again! The end of the school year is in sight for many schools and yearbook staffs are finishing and starting to plan for next year.
They’re also starting to celebrate a job well done! The yearbook staff from Viewpoint School in Calabasas, Calif., recently shared all the fun they had at their “Wrap Party” with the Yearbooks Blog.
The yearbook staff from Haltom High School in Haltom City, Texas loves Walsworth’s new Yearbook Shout mobile app.
Need proof? Check out this cool video the staff created to promote Shout recently as a group project.
Every week, Blake Academy yearbook adviser Antje Wetherington brings a special friend with her into the yearbook room at the Lakeland, Fla., school.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, and other late yearbook deadline nights, Wetherington’s dog Simon joins her at school and has now become a beloved part of the Blake yearbook family.
Check out how one yearbook staff created a fun way to use this year’s Walsworth Day-by-Day Calendar.
The daily Walsworth calendar is filled with all sorts of tips about marketing and journalism, and tons of different fun shout-outs for the staff. So adviser Kelly Krepelka and the staff at Garner High School in Garner, N.C., have been making a colorful collage on the wall of the yearbook room as the days go by this year.
Have you joined Pinterest yet? Already started creating your own yearbook-themed board?
If so, you’re in luck because Walsworth has its very own page on Pinterest, where we will be showing off a variety of great content. Already on the page, you can find boards on design, photography, yearbook trends and much more.
Hopefully by now you’ve heard about Includitude, Walsworth’s theme for this school year. If not, you can learn a little bit more about it over in the Idea File area.
Yearbook staffs who attended a Walsworth workshop this summer likely got an early start at learning the concept of Includitude and how to bring it to their book.
Do you love yearbooks as much as the yearbook staff at Ashley High School in Wilmington, N.C.?
Ashley yearbook adviser Katie Barsaleau recently attended one of Walsworth’s Show-Me Seminars in Kansas City, and got a kick out of the “I heart YBK” logo that can be seen on Walsworth’s Facebook page and on buttons and stickers the company hands out.
It’s the middle of winter and your students are working hard, but they may be slowing down a bit. Days of limited daylight and less time outdoors may be taking its toll. So, get your staff moving to keep the doldrums and stress at bay.
Brain teasers and small bursts of exercise will help them clear their brain and keep them inspired as they continue to work on their yearbook.
National Yearbook Week is just around the corner. In fact it’s only one week away, this year falling on Oct. 3-7.
At Walsworth and the Yearbooks Blog, we’re already making plans on how to celebrate and we want you to get involved, too.
Take a look at this article from the Ladue-Frontenac Patch about St. Louis artist Jay Alan Babcock, who spent time working with students from the Community School on his latest project based on old yearbook photos.
Babcock started by scanning the yearbook photos and making copies, then taking the copies and placing them over carbon paper to outline parts of the image or whole images. The images then become drawings, or paintings.
