With the school year coming to an end, recognize the hard work of your student council members with a special celebration. Show your appreciation to your Student Council members with a fun, end-of-the-school year party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Little Recognition Goes A Long Way<br><\/strong>Everyone likes to hear \u201cthank you,\u201d especially when they have assumed a lot of responsibilities. Student councils plan fundraisers, community service projects, and promote events throughout the school year. So, a little acknowledgement, like a <em>group activity<\/em> or a <em>party<\/em> with <em>gifts<\/em> and rewards are great ways to say thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Teamwork.gif\" alt=\"school_fundraising_Teamwork\" class=\"wp-image-5451\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep the Energy Going with A Group Activity<br><\/strong>Student council members have a lot of energy because they always have several projects going on at once. Take advantage of that and plan a big, energetic group activity outside of school for your entire student council. Customers have told us that they like group activities like <em>bowling parties<\/em>, <em>pool parties<\/em>, and <em>paint ball parties.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Poolparty11.jpg\" alt=\"Andersons_PoolParty Fundraiser\" class=\"wp-image-2569\" width=\"298\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Poolparty11.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Poolparty11-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Food for Thought<br><\/strong>You can\u2019t have a good party without good food. If your student council budget still has enough money, organize a <em>barbeque<\/em>, small <em>banquet<\/em>, or a private room at a <em>local restaurant<\/em>. For budgets that have been stretched a little, try a more casual idea like a <em>pizza party<\/em>, <em>picnic<\/em>, or <em>potluck<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Pizza.jpg\" alt=\"school_fundraiser_pizzafeed\" class=\"wp-image-3451\" width=\"200\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Pizza.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Pizza-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gifts and Rewards for Student Council Members<br><\/strong>No matter what type of student council celebration you have, give your students a gift and reward they can take with them when school ends. Gifts and awards can even match your party style. For a more laid-back celebration, hand out award <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/school-spirit\/letter-jacket-and-lapel-pins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pins<\/a>, custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/apparel\/t-shirts-and-tank-tops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">T-shirts<\/a>, or dog tags.
