“We’re taking advantage of social media to make up for the fact that we’re missing out on so much face to face.” 📓
and graduation parades go viral, and now, hundreds of yearbook accounts are starting to pop up on Instagram. It's a way for seniors to feel connected to their classmates at this time, still giving them the chance to share their favorite high school memories and celebrate each other’s achievements.
Many administrators of the various accounts are asking their classmates to send in baby photos, quotes, or pics of themselves rocking gear from the colleges and universities they will be attending in the fall. Others are sharing senior class portraits, with information about each student in the caption. Everyone is encouraged to"sign" that person's"yearbook" by leaving a comment, sharing a memory or words of encouragement.
"We’re disappointed to not have the opportunity to celebrate in person, but I think like a lot of kids, we’re glad we have social media to be able to connect with everyone virtually," 18-year-old Matt Beiger, who created the Dunwoody High School yearbook account, told."These accounts are something a lot of schools have done. Every high school I know is starting to use a page like this to celebrate their senior class. I’ve seen it across the country.
“We’re taking advantage of social media to make up for the fact that we’re missing out on so much face to face,” Beiger's classmate, 17-year-old Molly Clinch, added. “Although we can’t all get together and celebrate graduation, having us all on a page together makes us feel like a community.”
