ST. CHARLES SCHOOL NEWS - June 2009

Meredith Lilley Receives Disney Doer & Dreamer Award (click on picture to see separately).


    On March 6, 2009 according to Walt Disney World’s Public Affairs and Community Relations website: “Disney Parks worldwide are asking our guests, ‘What will you celebrate?’ Many people may wonder; however, what it is Walt Disney World is celebrating this year?  We are excited to celebrate young people, as Disney Dreamers and Doers, who are making a difference in our community through their volunteer service.”
    Meredith Lilley, a fifth-grader at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School, was named an elementary school “Dreamer and Doer” for her work on behalf of two Orlando families who were facing eviction and homelessness and for her volunteer efforts at Brothers’ Keeper food pantry. “Helping with your community or anywhere else really does help,” Meredith wrote in an essay.
    Meredith’s community service has been influenced by her family who places a high value on helping others who are less fortunate. Her entire family pitched in to help relocate families in crisis, delivering food, checking on their progress, and babysitting for the families with young children.
