Jostens recognizes ‘Most Inclusive Schools in America’ during National Yearbook Week
Minneapolis, Minn. (PRWEB) October 05, 2016 -- Jostens, the leading provider of publications, jewelry and consumer goods serving the K-12 and college market, today recognized 720 U.S. elementary, middle and high schools for featuring 100 percent of their students at least three times in their 2015-2016 yearbooks. The three-time coverage benchmark is one commonly used by yearbook staff to ensure student inclusion and yearbook interest.
“The yearbook is the ultimate inclusivity platform for American schools. Every student can and deserves to be represented,” said Murad Velani, Jostens COO. “When compared to other yearbook companies, Jostens leads in helping schools capture and publish compelling stories and images of their students, teachers, school and community.”
In the spirit of National Yearbook Week, which runs the week of Oct. 3, Jostens wants to help even more schools reach “Most Inclusive Schools in America” status.
“Jostens provides multiple tools that can help amplify student inclusivity, one of which is our ReplayIt mobile app,” Velani said. “ReplayIt allows students, parents and teachers to easily share photos with yearbook staff at their schools, and we see schools that use the app tend to have higher yearbook coverage rates than schools that don’t.”
Throughout the 2016-2017 school year, Jostens will look for more opportunities to promote inclusivity, and a new list of the “Most Inclusive Schools in America” will be announced in 2017.
