A Peek at Our Yearbook

Here is a peek at our support group yearbook. It is 200 pages, full color, with a clear plastic sheet on the front and a hard plastic back. Pages were created on the computer using Microsoft Publisher, and we had it printed and spiral bound at Kinkos. The cover was designed by my daughter Amanda, 12,  and her friend Katie, and my other daughter, Sarah, 18, did all the senior page layouts as well as most of the sports layouts. 

We had about a dozen teens and several moms work on this project all year, but the bulk of the work really happened in the spring.  We sold them for $25 each.  Hard work, but the results were worth it!

 

 

Each family had a page for their family photo, school name, favorite scripture, short paragraph about what homeschooling means to them, list of activities, etc.

 

 

Each senior had a 2-page spread for their senior picture and a couple of candids, short bio, list of activities, favorite quote or scripture.

 

 

Other sections included Sports, Music & Art, Activities, Community Service, Parent Support, Congratulatory Ads, and Autographs.

Hi!

I'm back with an idea for you. You could chronicle you yearbook making process...and publish a book! How to create a Homeschool Yearbook.
Include a timeline of when things need to be done...
How you got the pictures taken of all the activities....
Template ideas....

Just a thought.

Yours really is so well done!

I like the idea of you putting together a yearbook kit. Some other websites have them but you have to commit to 100 books...We have a small Homeschool group starting up and don't need near that many!
I would just like to know where to get info on how to get started and tips and ideas.

Posted by JENNI
Can you please tell me how you went about doing this? I am in charge of doing a yearbook for the first time for our small homeschool group. This is perfect. How did you make it and who published it? Thank you for your help. wife-of-abundance@comcast.net

The yearbook looks great. We have also been using Microsoft Publisher to create a yearbook, but I can't find anyone to print it in all color for such a low price.
Can you tell me where you got yours printed?
Thanks

This is great. I, like so many others that have posted, was put in charge of our yearbook for this coming year. We have such a small group that I think we are going to try to put something together similar to your book. It looks great. I hope ours will look as nice. I would appreciate any helpful tips or deadline goals. You can email me at kgbutler@hotmail.com
