Of Pandemics and Final Deadlines

They may be stuck at home, but yearbook staffs and editors across the country are finding creative ways to reimagine and extend coverage to include the pandemic while still working toward their final deadlines. From retrieving files via wifi while parked in the school parking to interviewing in unconventional ways to getting a laugh from an adviser's coronavirus memes on GroupMe, we hear stories from yearbook editors at The Lion (McKinney HS, Texas), Madrono (Palo Alto HS, Calif.) and the Black & Gold (Rock Canyon HS, Colo.) as they establish new routines and norms for themselves and their staffs. A big shoutout goes to these editors' advisers and ALL of you advisers out there figuring this out one day at a time!
