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.
5. Send Home Appreciation Postcards
Quick, thoughtful, and easy—postcards are perfect when you're short on time. Write a short message acknowledging their support, and let them know how their help made the event special.
6. Gift a Keepsake Ribbon or Medal
Holiday-themed ribbons or classic recognition medals make memorable keepsakes. These small tokens of appreciation are perfect for volunteers who helped decorate, run stations, prepare food, or assist classrooms.
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.
