Schools are full of unforgettable moments – whether it’s the last day of school, a milestone event like graduation, or the excitement of a class field trip. A beautifully designed photo book or calendar helps preserve these memories, but making them available to an entire school community can be a challenge.
With Mimeo Photos' Shared Projects, one person can design a premium photo book or calendar and then share it with others to view and purchase – eliminating the hassle of collecting orders or distributing copies manually. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or school administrator, this feature makes it easy to ensure that cherished school memories are accessible to everyone who wants them.
Here are 7 ways schools can use Shared Projects to create and distribute high-quality keepsakes for their communities.
1. End-of-Year Class Photo Book
An end-of-year photo book is a timeless keepsake that brings together all the highlights of the school year, from the first day of class to the last.
To gather the best photos, teachers and parents can use shared albums on their iPhone or Google Photos to collect images from different events, including class parties, school projects, and field trips. Once the photos are gathered, one person – such as a teacher or a parent volunteer – can upload them to Mimeo Photos and design the book.
Once complete, the project can be shared with parents and students, allowing them to order their own copies without any additional coordination.

2. Field Trip or Study Abroad Photo Book
Celebrate exciting learning experiences like field trips or study abroad with a custom photo book. Whether it's a visit to a museum, a nature reserve, or a class trip abroad, these collections showcase moments of discovery and fun.
Teachers and chaperones can upload their best photos to a shared iPhone album and select the best ones for the project. A calendar featuring images from multiple field trips throughout the year can also make a great gift or fundraising item for the school.

3. Theater Production or School Play Photo Book
School plays and musicals are the result of months of dedication, rehearsals, and teamwork. A photo book that captures behind-the-scenes moments, dress rehearsals, and the final performance makes for a cherished keepsake.
Drama teachers, parents, and student photographers can contribute their best photos before one person curates and designs the book. Mimeo Photos' professional-quality printing ensures that every scene and spotlight moment is preserved beautifully.

4. Graduation Photo Book
Graduation marks a significant milestone, and a custom photo book can commemorate the journey. Senior portraits, candid moments from graduation day, and special events like prom all come together to tell the story of the graduating class.
By gathering photos through a shared album on your iPhone or in a Google Photos collection, families, teachers, and students can ensure that the best moments make it into the final book. Once designed, the project can be shared with the entire class, allowing every student and family to order their own copy.

5. Sports Team Photo Book
A team photo book is the perfect way to highlight game-winning moments, championship victories, and the camaraderie of the season. Coaches and team parents can upload photos to a shared iPhone album, making it easy to select the best action shots and team pictures.
Once the book is designed, players and their families can order their own copies — without the need for bulk orders or extra distribution efforts.

6. Teacher or Staff Appreciation Photo Book
Teachers and school staff make a lasting impact on students' lives. A custom photo book filled with messages, student artwork, and pictures from the school year is a heartfelt way to show appreciation.
Students and parents can contribute their favorite photos and messages before one person creates the final book. Whether it’s a gift from a single class or the entire school, this thoughtful keepsake is something educators will treasure for years to come.
