Celebrate National Yearbook Week!

The first full week of October marks National Yearbook Week, a special time to celebrate the creativity, dedication, and hard work behind every school yearbook. Established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan, this week recognizes the lasting memories and milestones captured on each page. Whether you're a student contributor, a teacher adviser, or simply someone who cherishes your yearbook, this week is for you!

At Picaboo Yearbooks, we understand the value of preserving the unique stories of schools and organizations. That’s why we’re inviting everyone to join in the fun with our School Yearbook Photo Scavenger Hunt—a perfect way to engage with your yearbook community and celebrate together!

Remember, yearbooks aren’t just books—they’re lifelong keepsakes. Let’s celebrate the joy of capturing memories that last a lifetime.

  • The challenge

    Have advisers show off the people behind the yearbook.

    This works for elementary, middle and high school because it doesn't require a specific type of yearbook staff.

    They could submit:

    • Yearbook staff photo

    • Adviser + students

    • Class working on the yearbook

    • Students taking photos

    • A funny candid

    • A photo of their yearbook workspace

  • The challenge

    Show us your yearbook cover!

    It can be:

    • Your current cover

    • A previous favorite

    • A student-designed cover

    • A work-in-progress

    • A sketch/concept

    • A completely ridiculous "if we could put ANYTHING on our cover" idea

    • For younger grades, even a hand-drawn cover concept works

  • The challenge

    Complete the sentence:

    “You know you're a yearbook adviser when…”

    Examples:

    “…you have 4,000 photos on your phone.”

    “…you see a cute picture and immediately think, ‘That belongs in the yearbook.’”

    “…you say ‘I just need ONE more photo’ 47 times.”

    “…your camera roll is basically the school year.”

    Advisers/students can submit:

    • A photo

    • A video

    • A Reel

    • A meme

    • A written confession

  • The challenge

    Show us why your school creates a yearbook.

    Could be:

    • A favorite yearbook tradition

    • A student explaining why yearbooks matter

    • A favorite page

    • A favorite memory

    • A teacher/adviser testimonial

    • A student holding their favorite yearbook

    • A group saying what yearbooks mean to them
