Student of the Week Certificate
A weekly award has to be quick to make and specific to read. Name one thing the child did that week, put the week on the seal or date line, and you can print it in the time it takes to call the class to the carpet.
Free, no watermark. Nothing is uploaded.
Shortcuts: Ctrl/⌘+S downloads the PDF, Ctrl/⌘+P prints just the certificate.

Questions people ask
How do I choose a student of the week?
Many teachers pick a weekly trait (kindness, effort, responsibility) and choose a child who showed it, keeping a list so every student is recognised at least once during the year.
What should a student of the week certificate say?
The title, the child's name, one sentence about what they did that week, the date or week, and your signature. Specific beats general: "for helping Sam with reading" means more than "for being good".
Can I make a whole term of certificates at once?
Yes. List the names and reasons in a spreadsheet, one row per week, and the bulk generator prints them all in one PDF.
