LET’S HAVE SOME FUN. THE BOOK IS DONE! LET’S HAVE A PARTY – RECOGNITIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Your school’s sports teams do it. School clubs will do it. Shouldn’t the group that has the second-largest team budget in the school have one? Yes, your yearbook staff deserves some type of year-end celebration to honor all the hard work they did this year. How you decide to celebrate depends on your staff, your school, your budget, staff traditions and timing. Justin Turner, adviser at Sheridan High School in Sheridan, Arkansas, always has a year-end banquet for his staff and he lists these reasons why: • Honor the staff and thank them for their work • Celebrate staff accomplishments • Staffers who are proud of what they do encourage others to apply • Show parents what you do and to thank them for all they have done • This may be the only time some staff members will ever attend a banquet that honors them This eBook lists the tasks to consider when planning to honor your year’s staff. Along with these ideas, use Pinterest or other party-planning websites for more ideas.
