We recently talked about<a title=\"Reward Your Teachers and Professors for a Great Year!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.presentaplaque.com\/2012\/05\/15\/reward-your-teachers-and-professors-for-a-great-year\/\"> how students can recognize their teachers and professors for a great year<\/a>! Now it\u2019s time to return the favor! While many schools have hosted ceremonies for their graduates, it\u2019s also crucial to honor the rest of the students for a job well done. With the school ending for many and the excitement of summer plans starting, it\u2019s a great time to recognize your students\u2019 hard work during the year, whether they are those you teach or even employ.<\/p>\n<p>We found some great ideas via UNCP.edu for holding a wonderful awards ceremony for your students, including awards suggestions!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold your own awards ceremony and give out awards for unique categories (i.e. Best Attendance, Best Computer Skills, Most Organized, and Best Customer Service).<\/li>\n<li>Have the full-time staff members write notes to the students detailing how they assist them day-to-day and thanking them.<\/li>\n<li>Decorate a bulletin board for your student employees with pictures and notes from the staff.<\/li>\n<li>Give each student a framed photo of the entire office staff that they can take with them when they graduate. Decorate the frame to show your appreciation.<\/li>\n<li>Gather information on your student employees such as career goals, favorite movie, unique talents, etc. and post in the office break room. Many times, full-time staff knows very little about part time student employees.<\/li>\n<li>Draw an outline of your hand on a piece of paper. Photocopy enough copies for all students in\u00a0your office. On each hand write a note that tells the student why they deserve a \u201cPat on the Back\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Good Egg Award&#8217; &#8211; Buy plastic Easter eggs, fill with goodies and give out with &#8220;Good Egg\u00a0Certificates&#8221;. List what the students did to deserve this award.<\/li>\n<li>Take pictures of your student employees and post around the workplace, listing what makes them great.<\/li>\n<li>Send a note to the family of your student workers, letting them know what the student does and how it impacts your department.<\/li>\n<li>Send e-cards to show appreciation.<\/li>\n<li>Make certificates of appreciation and have them framed.<\/li>\n<li>Make a banner to hang in your office.<\/li>\n<li>Use your imagination! A simple \u201cthank you\u201d goes a long way!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As always, displaying any awards given out to your students in our beautiful plaques is the perfect way to show your appreciation, without spending loads of time and money.
