Civic Excellence and Leadership Award
The Award
As a family, we were deeply grateful to learn of a new student Civic Excellence and Leadership Award established in Randy’s name. It is an incredible honor to see his memory recognized in a way that reflects the values he lived every day – kindness, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to his students.
This year, we are proud to support the award by hosting a basketball camp and poker fundraiser. Planning these events has truly been a labor of love, and we are committed to helping these events grow and thrive in years to come.
We would like to extend our gratitude to Peacock School, District 10 leadership, board members, teachers, staff, and the Itasca Park District for their support of this award and their continued commitment to our community.
Sincerely,
The Okrzesik Family
