Quick Holiday Appreciation Ideas for Volunteers & Staff

Quick Parent Volunteer and Staff Appreciation Ideas for Holiday Events

Holiday events are some of the busiest—and most joyful—times of the school year. Behind every successful program, performance, or classroom celebration are dedicated parent volunteers and hardworking school staff who make it all possible. Showing appreciation doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few thoughtful ideas and affordable recognition items, you can make your volunteers and staff feel valued during the holiday season.

1. Hand Out Festive Certificates of Appreciation

A personalized certificate is a meaningful way to say “thank you.” Jones School Supply offers beautifully designed certificates that can be customized with names, roles, and event details. They’re affordable, easy to fill out, and make volunteers and staff feel truly celebrated.

2. Create Mini Recognition Kits

Put together simple appreciation bundles using items such as:

• Custom buttons
• Ribbons, pins or medals
• A handwritten thank-you note
• Holiday treats or cocoa packets

These small kits make a big impression without stretching your event budget.

3. Spotlight Volunteers & Staff During Announcements

A brief mention during your holiday assembly, concert, or morning announcements goes a long way. Highlight their contributions, call out specific tasks they helped with, and encourage students to show their appreciation.

4. Set Up a “Thank-You Table” at Events

Display medals, pins, ribbons, and certificates from Jones School Supply on a small table at your holiday program. As volunteers check in or staff members arrive, present them with a recognition item and a warm thank-you.

7. Share a Group Photo With a Thank-You Message

Take a quick photo of your volunteers or staff at the event and share it on your website or social media. Add a simple caption like “We couldn’t do it without you!” It boosts morale and builds community pride.

Easy Last-Week-of-School Rewards Teachers Can Use | Jones School Supply

Easy Last-Week-of-School Rewards Teachers Can Use Before Winter Break

The final days before winter break are some of the most exciting—and challenging—moments of the school year. Students are energized, routines are a bit looser, and teachers are looking for simple ways to keep classrooms focused while still embracing the festive spirit. This is the perfect time to introduce small, meaningful rewards that encourage positive behavior, boost morale, and help end the semester on a high note.

At Jones School Supply, we know that teachers need options that are affordable, quick to use, and effective, especially during the busiest weeks of December. Here are several easy reward ideas that make a big impact without adding extra stress to your already-full plate.

1. Bright Cheerful Certificates for Quick Recognition

A colorful certificate instantly creates a celebratory moment. Whether students finish strong on an assignment, show kindness to a classmate, or demonstrate great teamwork during group activities, a printed certificate gives them a keepsake they’ll proudly take home before break.

Choose titles like:

• Outstanding Effort
• Reading Star
• Most Improved
• Special Recognition

Jones School Supply offers brilliant foil, full-color and photo designs that stand out beautifully in December displays.

2. Mini Classroom Challenges With Value Medals

Short, one- or two-day challenges are perfect for the week before break. Teachers can run activities such as a “Focus for Five” challenge, a reading sprint, or a teamwork task. A small, shiny medal at the end turns the challenge into a memorable event.

Value Medals are inexpensive enough for whole-class recognition while still offering the signature Jones-quality finish.

3. Buttons for Instant Motivation

When you need a reward that works in the moment, buttons are excellent tools. Students love collecting them, wearing them, and showing them off during school events or holiday activities.

Great December ideas include:

• Caught being Good
• Star Performer
• Music

With over 50 exclusive Jones designs, it’s easy to match each reward to your classroom’s personality.

4. Ribbons for Holiday Programs and Events

Schools often end the semester with concerts, assemblies, or classroom celebrations. Award ribbons elevate these events with a touch of ceremony.

Choose titles such as:

• Choir Participant
• 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Place
• Readers Are Leaders

Ribbons give students a tangible reminder of their involvement and help families celebrate their children’s participation.

5. Certificates or Medals for Attendance and Behavior

The final week of school can be chaotic, but it’s also the perfect time to reinforce good habits. Recognizing students for excellent attendance, improved behavior, or teamwork helps keep routines strong right up until dismissal before break.

Jones School Supply ships many of these items the same day when ordered by 3 p.m. Eastern, so teachers and administrators can quickly stock up—even on a tight timeline.

Make the Last Week Count

A simple reward can transform the week before winter break into something special. Whether you’re preparing for classroom games, holiday concerts, or everyday recognition, Jones School Supply has affordable, ready-to-ship items that keep students motivated and excited to learn right up to the final bell.
