Picture Perfect Opportunity

Written by Kel Lemons | Sep 16, 2016 8:54:00 PM



With hundreds of students filing through one location in one day, Picture Day is the perfect opportunity to snag some extra coverage for the yearbook.

Just think — in one day, you could knock out all of the people section coverage. It’s an ideal way to ensure you get other kids in the book — the ones not involved in clubs and sports. You could:

  • Ask poll questions
  • Ask questions for fun sidebars and secondary coverage
  • Take candid pictures
  • Take fun mugs for sidebars

It’s also an opportunity for the yearbook staff and the Journalism students to hone their interviewing skills. And it’s a great chance for photographers and photojournalism classes to capture the day and snap profile shots and mugs.

See this checklist for some suggestions on how to prepare for Picture Day.
