Jupiter High Yearbook employees create a record book, catches up for 3,000 students

28 students, a consultant and 404 pages.

The Jupiter High School's yearbook employee is now in the last steps before publishing your largest book so far.

WPTV takes them behind the scenes to show them all the work it takes to wrap memories in a book for a whole year that the school year records for thousands of students.

“There is a lot to report to contain a lot of life and stories,” said Isabella Venanci, editor -in -chief of Chiefain, the official name of the school's yearbook.

Ms. Ericka Muncy works with a selected group a few dozen students to build this symbol of warrior wood.

“Everyone has a story and it is our job to tell it,” Muncy told the WPTV reporter Victor Jorges.

With 3,100 students who can be recorded at school, and over 400 pages that can create more than 400 pages, this year's book is the largest in the school's history.

“Our book goes to thousands of people and they create a historical document,” said Muncy.

The editors led this small but powerful team into the finish line. You are now in the process of approving evidence and putting the last details about the book.

“From now on I think that we are looking for a good condition after our final period,” said Renata de Los Heros Colmenares, editor -in -chief of the book.

May will be an important month for the staff: everything comes together for the entire student body to see the book for the first time in the distribution.

“When you hand over the book to a student and see the cover for the first time and you will see how you are looking for yourself immediately, and as soon as you find it, see this smile on your face, I think it's worth it,” said Venanci.

This year's topic is still very secret, but the students can expect to see a lot of themselves in the book that they will appreciate for a long time.

“No matter how prestigious you are or you know that you know that you are not perceptible in the halls, as if I notice you, and that's why I made this book.” said de los Heros Colmenares.

In addition to crazy deadlines and careful design, the staff focuses on ensuring that every student has seen each other.

“When we work in the yearbook, we just start with an empty spread,” said Sophomore Lizzy Sober. “It is basically like a white piece of paper online and we have to do everything from scratch. I wish people realized that there are so much work and effort that responds to it. “

Neuling Elinok Leshen says that she plans to return to the yearbook program year after year.

“Everyone is so special in their own way and it is really amazing and I hope that everyone can see it when they get the book in their hands,” she said.

The Chieftain has now had national recognition of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association, organizations that assess and inspire young journalists and their school publications. The pressure builds.

“People across the country look at our books so that it definitely increases the pressure on the students and myself, but it also motivates us to just get better,” said Muncy.

The publication has already received a Silver Award from CSPA, now you are going with the full support of your headmistress Colleen Iannitti.

“The time and commitment to a yearbook consultant, a yearbook editor, an employee, is a yearbook, is non -stop.”
