伊丽莎白·巴雷特，14届，17届
2023年德雷克奖获得者

Waynflete is pleased to announce that Elizabeth Barrett P’14, ' 17是2023年德雷克奖的获得者.

In 1976, 爱默生和平·德雷克, 四名bet365官网学生的父母, received a special honor for their service to Waynflete. Emerson had served on the board of trustees for 16 years, the last several as 总统. Ping was active within the Waynflete community, 志愿者ing in many areas of the school. They were recognized by the board with the award that now bears their name. Ping was also made an honorary Waynflete alumna. We honor their example and their memory by presenting the Drake Award each year.

伊丽莎白和她的家人, including children Louis Frumer ’14 and Kelley Frumer ’17, have been part of the Waynflete community since 2007. Elizabeth epitomizes the selfless and generous 志愿者 who keeps independent schools strong and thriving. During her time as a parent, Elizabeth was involved in every level of the 家长协会 (PA). 她担任副总统, 总统, 和member-at-large, 当过几次班级家长, and chaired the Friends of the Library and the 欢迎 Committee. 她和她的丈夫, 约翰, created the PA Diversity Committee and also served on the Senior Gift Campaign Committee during their children’s respective senior years. The two are also members of the Ruth Cook Hyde 1910 Circle, the planned giving society at Waynflete.

Elizabeth 志愿者ed at numerous admission events, accompanying many a division director on their “Discover Waynflete” tours and offering insights to prospective parents. 她总是乐于助人. 更多的 than one facilities staff member commented that she was a “worker,” setting up chairs and tables and never leaving until the event breakdown was complete. Elizabeth has remained a loyal 志愿者 and staunch supporter of Waynflete in the years since her children graduated. She is a founding member of Waynflete’s Parent 入学 Network and continues to serve on that group, one of a handful of parents who have stayed on to provide an invaluable perspective on their children’s education.

The entire Waynflete community expresses its deep appreciation to Elizabeth Barrett for everything she has given to our school.
