The next big party after Prom is the Senior All-Night Party! You’ll need many items to have an amazing party that your students will love. Making sure you have all the essentials to create a memorable send off party for your senior class is part of the planning fun.

Pre-Party Needs

Planning the after party doesn’t have to be stressful at all when you break it down into student council picking the theme, party communications, and giveaway items.

  • The first step to start planning your party is to pick the theme. A student council committee is made to pick the theme and start planning what’s needed to create a fun party for your seniors.
  • Coordinate your party details in an elegant way with matching border papers, invites, programs, table tents, and more. Also create custom admission tickets that students can use as a keepsake. 
  • An easy way to find a winner for the giveaway prizes is with tickets you can hand out as seniors walk into the party at the beginning of the night.

Ordering your coordinated stationery and giveaway items with enough time will let you focus on other aspects of the party and make everything easier in the end.

Gifts For Students

The prizes and gifts that seniors will receive is a highlight of the party. You can gift them with promotional products like tumblers, lanyards, apparel, and pens that feature your school logo and their graduating class year. Gift certificates they can use at the movies or at a restaurant make for great gifts. Your seniors can win these as prizes in a raffle or contest. For students who don’t win from a contest or raffle, gift them with goodie bags filled with promotional products.

Thank Your Sponsors

Sponsors are crucial to your party because they help with the food and gift needs. Gift your longtime sponsors with a wooden plaque or a crystal trophy they can display proudly at their office or restaurant. You can also award them on a smaller scale with a custom certificate in a certificate jacket.

There are many aspects in planning a Senior All-Night Party. Choosing the theme of the party, gifts and prizes for seniors, and acknowledging your sponsors all make for a great party. Make sure to check out PaperDirect for all your pre-party planning needs.

Recognizing students and staff is crucial in building a productive school environment. Create special recognitions at your school that will turn into traditions that your staff and students will love by congratulating them with a variety of tangible awards.

Student of the Month Awards

Creating a ceremony where students, parents, and teachers can come together to celebrate a student’s achievements is wonderful for recognizing students. When you recognize students for their exemplary academics and character, you set the right tone for how you want your students to act. Reward them with customizable certificates that they can display in their room and show off to their friends.

Teacher of the Month Awards

Recognizing teachers for their hard work really pays off. Have students vote for their favorite teachers, and recognize those teachers with breakfast and a ceremony. Award each teacher with a trophy they can display proudly on their desk or a plaque they can hang up on the wall. This recognition is great for celebrating a teacher’s hard work and dedication to their students.

Celebrate Staff Birthdays

Birthdays should be celebrated! Celebrate a staff member’s birthday by decorating their workspace with a customized banner. When they walk in and find their workspace decorated, they’ll be proud to work at a school that notices the details. If a staff member doesn’t like their birthday to be a big deal, create a custom message using a stylish border paper to recognize them in a smaller way.

Student Attendance Recognition

Not missing a day of school can be tricky for many students. This may be an achievement that goes unnoticed in some schools, but handing a student a certificate that acknowledges their dedication to their academics goes a long way. Complement their attendance certificate with a coordinating certificate jacket that’ll display their award beautifully. 

Recognition Awards with Swag

Everyone loves some swag! Your staff will appreciate all the different ways they’ll be able to show their school pride: apparel, tumblers, and more! Show your appreciation by including some of these items in a gift basket or as a surprise gift in their mailbox.  Your staff will be proud of their school as they walk through the halls with their cool items.

These award and recognitions ideas are great for building a happy school environment. Your students and staff will desire these recognitions and work hard for them. Recognize with style and use PaperDirect for all your recognition needs.

Recognizing your students’ achievements has amazing outcomes. When you recognize individual student achievements with a tangible award, they will all feel appreciated and motivated to continue to work hard in the classroom.

Awarding Good Behavior

Awarding good behavior sets the foundation for your classroom and how your students should act. When students follow the rules of the classroom, you create a safe learning environment where students can learn without distractions. Award each outstanding student with a pin that they can show off in the classroom with pride.

Make Students Feel Appreciated

Recognizing your students’ achievements will let them know that you see their efforts and are proud of their achievements. An appreciated student won’t give up on their work and will feel like doing something that matters. Handing them a certificate that you have customized to be specific to that student is the perfect recognition gift. 

Encourage Student Pride

When students have something they can be proud of, it shows in the way they act. Awarding students with trophies and plaques is a great way for them to feel a sense of pride. They’ll be able to show off their awards to their friends and family, or hang them up in their rooms. The pride that your students will feel in school will continue to move them in the right direction.

Happy Students

Students that are successful with their studies are happy. By recognizing your students’ achievements, you are encouraging them to continue to work hard and be productive. When you reward your students you’ll make them feel appreciated and happy.
