Your kids appearing … or not… in yearbooks
Sometimes (ever so rarely), we get out of the yearbook studio and meet new people.
A common remark we get, when meeting parents with children is:
“Ohhhh… my son/daughter never gets in the school yearbook!… They only put in the top sporty or academic students!!!”.
Just wanted to clear something up…. It doesn’t work like that.
The yearbook is the type of project where you take what you can get. There are rarely enough high quality photos available to “choose” from.
No one sits there filtering out photos of children who are not the top sporty or academic students. (….and if you’re sure they do, you’re sending your children to the wrong school).
School yearbook editors (that Rockstar work with) will, 9 times out of 10 painstakingly sift through photos to get the widest variety of students.
If you’d like to ensure your children are featured in your school’s yearbook:
- volunteer to take photos at school events
- encourage teaching staff to take more photos
