We Thank O ur Heros!

Heros in our Family – This is a great opportunity to dedicate to family members of the school community who are First Responders or any member of the community who deserves recognition and appreciation for their service.
Additional Theme Page Ideas School Spirit – Students & teachers can dress in school spirit wear, school colors, hold up handmade signs, & express their school spirit. Sport at Home – Use this section to upload photos of students practicing their sports at home, wearing their sports uniform or fan wear supporting the school teams, and exercising and staying in shape until sports resume. Clubs & Bands – These pages can show photos of students practicing their instrument at home, working on a club project at home, or getting together as a group through virtual meetings. My New Hobby – Upload photos to showcase a new experience or hobby that they enjoyed during the pandemic. This could be as simple as doing puzzles or crossword searches, or as involved as building a treehouse! My Reading Spot – Reading is fundamental. Encourage reading at home by showing photos of students reading in their favorite spot at home.
Holidays & Special Events – Upload photos of holidays and special events that were celebrated at home, or special Drive By events that were organized by the school.. Staff in Masks – Teachers are encouraged to make this page a little extra fun and upload photos of themselves in funny masks. This too is a great way to create a “Guess Who” page. Local Community – Recognize members of the community and pay tribute to the ways the community has come together as a whole. Highlight the positive responses in the community, such as food drives, and other types of community outreach. In Memoriam – This section can be dedicated to members of the school community that have been lost due to Covid-19. Graduating Class Quotes – This is often found in High School yearbooks, but younger students can be given this opportunity as well. This is a great place to allow the Graduating class to express how they felt about this unique school year.

Pandemic Fashion Show – This is a fun idea for students to show how they dress for school at home! These pages can be even more fun for students by encouraging teachers to participate wearing pajamas and slippers.

OUR AD BUILDER Cherish the Memories! The Ad Builder is a Great way to create page content while capturing the thoughts and feelings of the Students. While Ad space in the yearbook is typically purchased by parents, we recommend offering the Graduating Class a FREE 1/ or ¼ page space where the Students can design/upload any 8 content about their experience that stood out this year. Another idea is to offer free space to parents of Kindergarteners to highlight their child’s experience for their first year of school. Premade templates for ads are available within the software, providing parents and/or students with multiple options to build an attractive Ad easily.
Upload Photos Your school has a Custom Online Storefront setup for Yearbook and Ad/Dedication purchases. Start by visiting the direct link to your School’s Storefront provided by your school. Parents without the direct link can access the Storefront via www.yearbooksspm.com. Then, select Shop Online for the Ad Builder or Photo Post to upload candids and portraits.
