Jeff O. Mills Elementary celebrated today by receiving awards for attaining Model School status for 12 years in a row! Mills was the first Owasso school to begin the GE program. Great Expectations® is a professional development program that provides teachers and administrators with the skills needed to create harmony and excitement within the school atmosphere, elements that are basic for inspiring students to pursue academic excellence.

Today’s theme was, ” A Dozen Years of Excellence! ” with Krispy Kreme donating hats to each student and Wal-Mart donating enough donuts to provide one for each student and staff. Teachers and students enjoyed a celebration dance and performed a song written just for this award.
