One of the most exciting days for any student is the end-of-the-year school assembly! Not only is this day a terrific way to recognize your students’ achievements, it’s also an ideal way to close out the year on a positive note. Below are some elements you can work into your program. These will help you plan an assembly that is worthy of its own award!

• Sing your school song as a group.
• Recruit some students to perform a skit or musical piece.
• Put together a slide show of memorable moments throughout the year. (Kids love seeing their picture on the big screen!)
• Recognize the academic, athletic, and other achievements of students with Medals, Certificates, and Pins.

• Recognize any staff, teachers or parents who have significantly contributed in some way to the school year.
• Honor any retiring staff or teachers with a special word of thanks and small gift. Candles and picture frames make great end-of-the year gifts.
• Give small tokens of appreciation to every student, so no one feels left out. Funtoos or Ribbons make fun and economical gifts!
• Hand out school yearbooks.
• Host a casual reception following the assembly for the students and their parents.
