Recognition
The success of any school district is directly connected to the support and hard work of its employees, parents, and community members. With that in mind, the Board of Education would like, from time to time, to recognize those individuals that have gone “above and beyond” in service to the students of Keeneyville Elementary School District 20.
Student Ignite Awards
This month, the Board recognized 16 students in grades 4-8 by presenting them each with a Student Ignite Award. It was wonderful to see so many families and friends attend the meeting to support and recognize the hard work of our students!

District 20's Psychologist, Anthony Adamowski, was recognized with a Board Salute for his committment and hard work in supporting our students across the district. Anthony works tirelessly, travelling back and forth from school to school, always with a smile on his face. The District is very blessed to have such a caring and passionate person to support the mental health of our students and staff!
