Caught Our Eye

So many schools near the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico had major issues with hurricanes near the beginning of the school year. How students dealt with the devastation has to be included in the yearbook’s coverage. The staff at Seminole High School in Florida covered the cleanup students did following Hurricane Irma in September. Coverage included photos of students cleaning up fallen trees and debris from their yards, how students helped their families prepare, how students spent their time during the week without power, and the struggle between their local school district wanting to have school and the governor of Florida choosing to cancel all schools in the projected path of the hurricane. Tragedies and natural disasters can’t be ignored in the yearbook.
