Changes coming to the yearbook for seniors

Tweet

This year, the Bellwood-Antis Tuckahoe yearbook staff has come up with new additions for Bellwood’s seniors to participate in the publication of the yearbook.

In a senior meeting last Thursday, students were informed that the 2023-2024 yearbook would have changes to the superlative categories and a new signature feature for senior portraits.

This year, the yearbook team added senior signatures, which give the class of 2024 the option to have their signature put over their portraits.

Seniors were instructed to use the Canva app to create their signature, which is due this Thursday February 8. The signature is optional for students, but highly recommended.

“I think that the addition of signatures to the well-known ‘senior package’ that we have had for so many years will be a feature that catches the attention of the reader,” stated Vincent Cacciotti, a member of the yearbook who came up with the idea for the new additions. “It is my hope that this addition will continue for years. ”

Another addition for seniors is the option to create superlative categories and vote on their favorites, along with a new teacher category as well.

Each student was provided with a QR code during the meeting to write their own categories, which were submitted into a form for seniors to vote on this week.

“The yearbook shouldn’t just be created by one specific group but should instead use the ideas from everyone throughout the school,” commented Cacciotti. “After hearing some of the ideas that last year’s seniors had, we thought it would be a great idea to let the Class of 2024 make the superlatives that best fit them.”

“I hope that with regards to both the senior and teacher superlatives that not only do the winners fit the categories, but that the categories are a reflection of the entire class,” stated Cacciotti.

There is a QR code at the beginning of the morning announcements for seniors to scan and gain access to the vote for the best superlative categories. Seniors can also go to the link here to access it.

Voting will be open until this Friday and the winning categories will be announced the following week. Only seniors are to take part in the voting and other new additions.
