Oprah Surprises Ocoee Middle School on today's show

Ocoee Middle School will be featured on Oprah today at 4 p.m. (WFTV, Channel 9, Orlando).

Back in December the entire study body recorded a "flash mob" video similar to one done in Chicago at the start of Oprah’s current season. The Ocoee Middle School flash mob was recorded to promote the virtues of reading, with the production assistance of Full Sail University and permission from Black Eyed Peas to adapt one of their popular songs.

Oprah loved the video and the school’s creativity so much that she is featuring it on today's show. The show segment was broadcast live from Ocoee Middle this morning and taped for replay this afternoon. Oprah announces, via satellite, to principal Sharyn Gabriel and the assembled body of students and staff in the courtyard that she and Target will give Ocoee Middle a complete library makeover, add 2,000 books and all new computers.
