O’Bryant adviser to speak at Walsworth’s Adviser Academy

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

Betsy Lazo, the first-year adviser of the yearbook at the O’Bryant School in Roxbury, Mass., will be a guest speaker during the opening session of Walsworth’s Adviser Academy in Kansas City on Tuesday morning.

Lazo and her yearbook staff at O’Bryant received some positive local media attention this year for helping to turn around the school’s yearbook program. For the first time in the school’s history, this year’s staff was able to deliver yearbooks to students before the end of the school year, allowing them to have a signing party.

Walsworth President Don Walsworth will welcome the crowd of advisers to Kansas City, and Lazo will tell her story, reinforcing that yearbooks are alive and well.

Check back all week in the Yearbooks Blog for coverage of everything happening at the Adviser Academy.
