The class of 2020 has missed out on experiencing everything from prom and graduation to having yearbooks signed by their peers but many of these milestones are simply going digital, as seen with this virtual yearbook solution. HAGS (Have a Great Summer) helps high school students enjoy a year-end ritual via Snapchat and at the end of the summer, they'll actually receive a physical copy of their HAGS yearbook. The keepsake is not only a great way to hold onto the memories of an unusual school year but also support Know Your Rights Camp, which is devoted to the advancement, liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities.
HAGS is available for every high school in the United States so that students can connect with their classmates, even if they're apart.
