By January, your yearbook is no longer an idea; it’s a full work in progress. Pages are designed, photos are placed, deadlines are approaching, and momentum is building. This is also the perfect time to pause and conduct a mid-year yearbook audit.
As the semester winds down and winter break approaches, yearbook advisers everywhere feel that mix of relief, excitement, and chaos. Pages are half-finished, photos are scattered across devices, deadlines loom in the new year, and your staff is already mentally checked out and dreaming of vacation.
The second week of December brings a special mix of excitement, exhaustion, and anticipation. Students are buzzing with holiday spirit, teachers are tying up loose ends, and advisers are juggling deadlines, page submissions, and the final push before winter break.
