First I think you congradulate them for doing a great job and give them individual validation. Then you state you respect them for being consistent and working so hard and would like to treat them to something special to celebrate.
My dad gives my daughter $5 for each A. She has never gotten straight A’s 
When my boys were little in grade school we usually rewarded with small figurines that they were collecting or baseball cards. Back then...it was a big deal to get these. It was mostly for chapter tests or report cards. Pop quizzes and small tests ...you just had to do good. We praised them but they didn’t get “something” for those. We didn’t want them to think that they got “something” every time they made a good grade. In life it doesn’t work that way. Of course they got praises for doing good....just not material things.
When my oldest daughter moved from S+ type report cards to letter grades I was waitressing and so for each A on the report card she got $1 in quarters. To her that was a lot of money and it was a reward I could afford.
Sixteen or so years later, the tradition has continued, A’s on report cards are always paid for in quarters. With my two younger kids I haven’t paid out many quarters. My daughter is a solid B student. My son has probably had 3 A’s in his entire academic career.
I have set a much higher reward for a straight A report card. A couple years ago I set some money aside and set the reward at $100 for a straight A report card. And we don’t count irrelevant things like band, chorus and PE. Rewards are strictly for acedemics.

I used to get a present at the end of the year for consistant work and I did the same with my daughter so she had a goal.
It has ranged from a day out to a TV in her room
