On Aug. 23, The Trivium yearbook staff hosted their annual Yearbook Distribution Day. Each class period was shortened, allowing all three lunches to be combined into one lunch. Students spent this hour-long lunch eating outside by the pavilion, playing games, and looking through the previous year’s yearbook.
The Trivium’s Co-Editor In Chief senior John Brooke shares what they did to prepare for Yearbook Distribution Day.
“Myself and a few other people in The Trivium helped transport the books from the delivery truck into the school,” said Brooke.
Brooke continued by saying what he did to set up for the event.
“We designed signs for each table that we handed out the books from,” said Brooke.
Brooke explains how the set up varied from the previous year.
This event was the first time the student body was able to look through the yearbook. Brooke shares what it was like to watch students see the book.
“It was exciting to see everyone interact with each other and bring back memories of last year. It seemed like people were really enjoying the remembrance of these moments they shared, which was awesome to witness,” said Brooke.
“We had a table assigned for each class from last year, aside from last year’s seniors. We had two staff members per table. One highlighted names of the students that picked up their yearbook and one handed the books out,” said Brooke.
Managing Editor senior Tai
na Covington shares what she did during the distribution.
“I was in charge of working with the yearbooks. I was handing them out, replenishing stacks at each of the grade levels, and making sure everything ran smoothly,” said Covington.
The Trivium still had unsold yearbooks, which they had for sale at Yearbook Distribution Day. Covington describes how the staff went about selling the remaining books.
“We really wanted to get people to buy our spares yearbooks, so we decided to add a little bargain,” said Covington.
She then goes on to explain what it is The Trivium did.
“We threw in a free cupcake with an extra yearbook. By the end we had a running gag, because it was a $70 cupcake and a free yearbook,” said Covington.
Co-Editor In Chief Senior Drew Potter explains how he documented the event.
“I recorded a video for The Trivium’s Instagram. It was a poll for everyone about their favorite part of yearbook distribution day,” said Potter.
Potter then adds how he thought the event went.
“I think overall, it went really well. Every time I looked around, people were smiling. Nobody was by themselves. Everyone was having a great time,” said Potter.
Potter shares what could be done next year to improve Yearbook Distribution Day.
“Next year, I would say to space the tables out a little more and put stacks of boxes next to people, so that we don’t have to constantly walk back and forth stacking or filling the stacks,” said Potter.
The Trivium sold an additional eleven yearbooks and overall expressed that the event went smoothly. Yearbook Distribution Day allowed students time to sign their peer’s yearbooks, spend time with their friends, and unwind for an hour.
