Post on social media or create a video to share
Have the full-time staff members write personalized notes to the students detailing how they assist them day-to-day and thanking them
Conduct a scavenger hunt
Hold your own office awards ceremony and give out awards for unique categories like best attendance, best computer skills, most organized, best customer service, etc…
Host an office pizza party or ice cream social
