Caught Our Eye

Every yearbook staff contemplates different ways to highlight unique students in their book. Typically, this ends up with some pictures and a story about the student. The staff at Colonial High School in Stafford, Virginia, put a simple but great twist on their feature. The student they featured had spent a week in Guatemala on a mission trip helping children with special needs. To properly highlight the depth of her trip, they organized the feature as “A Week in the Life.” They broke her trip down by a few different days with photographs and storytelling captions to paint the picture for the viewer.
