Here at Old Mill our mission is to create a collaborative and innovative learning environment where all students succeed. We believe that this same mission can be carried over into the summer through reading books. Our librarian Mrs. Mason is on a mission to put a book into every student's hand to have during summer break. Please consider donating to the OMES e-wallet to help her meet this amazing goal. Use the link below to donate and help enhance the love of reading in each of our students.
