Why Yearbook?
Through the voices of former staffers, hear about the power of lessons learned in yearbook and why what we do is so important for the future.

TEACH
We understand what it takes to be a great teacher and appreciate what you do to train your staff. In order to simplify your life—and let you concentrate on teaching—we have created educational resources that can be used as is or adapted to meet specific needs. Together we can teach them everything they need to know.
CREATE
Give Thanks to Yearbook Supporters
People are more likely to help out when they feel their efforts are appreciated. Just a small thank you note can go a long way toward encouraging repeat behavior. Hopefully there are a group of people who support your work to create a great publication that people will enjoy for years to come. If there are teachers or administrators who give your staff ideas, photos and interviews, this is the perfect week to send them a thank you note. Parents who bring refreshments for work sessions or send in pictures can also make your list. Businesses who advertise in your publication also deserve a thank you.
Have your staff make a list of all the people who have supported the yearbook and then let the students practice their desktop publishing skills by designing cards to send them this week. You just might make their day.
