Unfortunately, when I became the yearbook adviser, the publication was exclusive for big sports and seniors. That saddened and worried me all at the same time. If a book is supposed to document the year that everyone enjoyed and was a part of, how can this time capsule I am helping to create only reflect a portion of those events, memories, and people? That year, with some gnashing of teeth and a few tears, we forged ahead to reshape our purpose. Ultimately, we increased our yearbook coverage to represent our entire school—ensuring all students appeared at least three times in the book. It was a challenge but absolutely worth it! Here are 5 easy ways that any staff can use to maximize yearbook coverage and ensure your book represents every student.
