Graduation scrapbook: Tips for a High School Scrapbook Album
Did your child graduate this year? Four years of high school seems to go by so fast. Wasn’t it just yesterday that are graduates started kindergarten? Now they’ll be headed off to college by fall. Don’t forget to preserve and document your child’s high school graduation memories with a graduation scrapbook.
You may already have a school scrapbooking album for your child, but high school graduation memories can fill an entire scrapbook. Dedicate one album for this special occasion. It doesn’t need to be a large album, but one that can accommodate professional portraits might be important if you plan to include the sittings for senior pictures.
The summer before your child senior year of high school, he will usually sit for senior portraits. Those special pictures should have a page in a graduation album.
Preparing a scrapbook for high school and memories doesn’t have to be difficult. Take a copy of your child’s graduation announcement and showcase it on a page layout. Don’t forget to include cards and letters from family and friends. Highlight ones with graduation advice. Include a special letter from you with a personal message to your child. Tell him your hopes and dreams for the future along with things you wish you would have been told on graduation day.
If your child is receiving a special award or honor at the graduation ceremony, be sure to design a page to highlight this accomplishment. Once the graduation is over, either include the original certificate in the album or make a copy.
If your child is giving a speech at the ceremony, snap some pictures of him practicing for the speech. You can even save his draft or notes and use them on a scrapbook page.
Did your local newspaper cover the graduation ceremony? Make copies of these articles for the scrapbook. Newspaper fades quickly. So you want to make photocopies. If you placed in a congratulations announcement in the paper, include this as well.
Before the celebration even starts, make a list of the photo opportunities you don’t want to miss. Photographs of your graduate with family, teachers and friends are as important as pictures of the actual ceremony.
Include high school mementoes in the scrapbook album. One page layout should show the graduation ceremony program. Scrapbook two copies on the page showing both the cover and the inside as much as possible.
Send a camera with your graduate to any graduation parties. Then you’ll have a lot of candid shots of your child with his friends. Try to exchange photos with his friends too. Sharing photos will give you a lot more options for your scrapbook graduation pages.
You may want to include a copy of your graduate’s final report card or grade transcripts. A nice complement to this would be a copy of the acceptance letter to the college he plans to attend.
The final closing page to the graduation scrapbook could be a photograph of him leaving for college. You might also choose to include a picture of his first day of kindergarten alongside a graduation picture.
It’s easy to create a graduation scrapbook. It will soon become a family heirloom. Keep it simple, and remember the most important thing is to scrapbook and document your graduate’s special day.
