Students present yearbook work to Bermudian Springs board; class reports record sales and awards
Summary
Yearbook adviser Shashana Calder and student editors briefed the board on production, deadlines and marketing; students reported 307 books sold so far, a record for senior-ad sales, roughly 5,000 staff hours on the project to date and scheduled a Mod Pizza fundraiser on Feb. 17 to help seniors afford books.
Students in the Bermudian Springs High School yearbook program presented their work to the board on Jan. 14, outlining the classs production process, deadlines, marketing and recent recognition.
Yearbook adviser Shashana Calder said she took over advising the yearbook in 2019 and highlighted student leadership in the class. "I've been in the district since 2011, and I took over yearbook in 2019," Calder said, describing the student-led production process and the editorial role of student editors.
Student editors described their workflow and milestones. One student reported the program had sold more than 300 books and cited a specific figure: "Now we're selling over 300 books, and that's still counting because that's what we have. Like, now we have 300 this morning, 307," the student said. The presenters said the class has strict internal deadlines and that if pages are not submitted on time the printed book can be delayed into the summer.
Students and the adviser also described awards and external recognition for prior books, visits with local photographers for skills training, participation in workshops at New Oxford and collaboration with county induction programs for new teachers. The presenters said the three editors had spent a combined 794 hours on the yearbook as of Jan. 10, 2025, and the full yearbook staff reported roughly 5,000 hours collectively so far.
The presentation included a preview of this years Spotify-themed cover and a fundraising plan: students announced a Mod Pizza fundraiser on Feb. 17 to help cover costs and ensure seniors who cannot afford a copy can receive one. Adviser Calder and board members praised the students for their dedication and time commitment; Calder noted that the yearbook offers leadership and technical skills relevant to future work.
The board thanked the students for their presentation and encouraged ongoing recruitment for the yearbook class. The presentation closed with brief logistical discussion about pricing tiers and timelines for ordering and distribution.
