Recruiting Yearbook Staffs

WAYS TO ANNOUNCE NEXT YEAR’S STAFF Make it an honor to be selected. Do that by announcing who has made the yearbook staff for next year. • Make a colorful poster with the names of next year’s staff and post it outside the yearbook room. • Make a video for the daily announcements and social media. • Post the names on your yearbook social media pages. • Create formal announcement cards, candy-grams or “I made the yearbook staff” pins and have this year’s staff hand-deliver them. Lastly, be sure to send thank-you notes to everyone who helped you with recruiting, such as teachers and counselors.
