牛顿·r·迪斯尼服务奖

It’s not a surprise that Lori McDermott, an 18-year member of the CFS staff as Director of 校友 and Community Engagement - has been named the 2025 Newt Disney Award recipient. Her commitment to service – not just to CFS, but to many other local organizations – has not gone unnoticed. 

洛里工作努力，富有同情心，可靠。 It’s likely why she’s been asked to serve on so many different committees at Church Farm School during her 18-year-tenure. 最近，她是受邀参加最近的院长搜索的两名教员之一。 她花了很多时间参加和主持会议，接电话，筛选调查数据，考虑观点。

Annually, she serves on the Family Weekend, Pageant and Commencement committees, while also maintaining a busy schedule of Advancement events, alumni meetings, township meetings (she is Chair of West Whiteland Township’s Friends of the Park), student ambassador meetings and church meetings (she has served as a Deacon moderator, Elder, member-at-large and chair of the Nominating Committee for First Presbyterian Church). In all of her interactions – whether on the clock or off of it – she makes sure to let people know about Church Farm School, and how they might get their organizations involved with our unique mission.   

She is an ambassador for CFS not because it’s her job, but because it is her vocation. Lori says, “I just want to pay it forward. 在抚养孩子的过程中，我的时间不是我自己的，我很感激别人的支持和帮助。 这是我回馈社会的小小方式。 I want to contribute where I can and to leave this world in a better place.”  祝贺Lori，她将在5月10日星期六的校友晚宴上获得荣誉！
