Welcome

MCCEF (Mill Creek Cluster Education Foundation) is proud to sponsor the Miss Mill Creek and Mr. Mill Creek pageants.

MCCEF's goal is to empower, enrich and enhance our future through the support of our schools, educators, and students. MCCEF provides a channel through which our community can directly impact the quality of education our students receive.

State funding only carries us so far, and MCCEF is committed to bridging the gap that can carry our children forward on their educational journies. Because of fundraisers like Miss Mill Creek we were able to give back almost $10,000 in grants this past fall to the MC cluster schools, which include Duncan Creek Elementary, Fort Daniel Elementary, Harmony Elementary, Ivy Creek Elementary, Puckett's Mill Elementary, Jones Middle School, Osborne Middle School and Mill Creek High School.

Upcoming fundraising events are the 3rd annual Golf Tournament at Hamilton Mill On August 27th and our first 5k, “Run The Creek� on February 24th!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank eveyrone for coming and supporting the Miss Mill Creek Pageants. My hope for the Miss Mill Creek program is not only to be a fund raiser for the MCCEF, but to be a pageant that celebrates young women who are well-rounded, poised, intelligent, and leaders in our schools and community.

The Miss Mill Creek program will facilitate volunteer opportunities for the contestants and representatives. This program is set in place to mentor and reach young ladies to inspire them to not only serve their schools, but also their community. The contestants and representatives

will have great opportunities as we link arms with other Gwinnett County High Schools in serving the Gwinnett community. I am honored to have the position of director and mentor to such an amazing group of girls and young ladies. As parents, you should be very proud!

To the young ladies competing today, always remember the words of Harriett Tubman, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. You have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.� So, let your dreams begin!

To the girls and young ladies who will be crowned today, get ready to have a fun and exciting year!

OLLYN ADAMS

SS MILL CREEK 2017

Dear Miss Mill Creek Contestants, I have been so thankful for this program; since the beginning! I first competed in Miss Mill Creek when I was in the 5th grade. In fact, it was my very first pageant.

Did I win? - Nope! But it was ok. I loved every minute of it so I continued to try.

I was honored to win the next year. In pageants - you win some, lose some and place in others. You should have the goal to win, however if that’s all you want out of it…you really won’t be satisfied no matter the outcome.

I’m currently chasing another dream in Entertainment at Walt Disney World. After graduating last year from Mill Creek I decided to audition to help make some magic with a few Disney Princesses. This too was a great deal of work to obtain, but I’m so happy to tell you that dreams do come true. Stay focused on what you desire, but keep seeking God in all things. Staying in His will is truly the key to a joyful life.

Take this opportunity to do your very best! Whether that’s the introduction, your interview, on-stage competitions… whatever it is you choose to do in life - be the best YOU … you can be!

I’m thankful to Him, my family and Mill Creek for this honor that I will always hold dear.

I’ve grown so much from the years of competing. I’ve learned discipline, goalsetting, how to develop a strong work ethic and how to dream BIG! I’ve learned how to win gracefully but more importantly I’ve learned how to lose gracefully. Life is full of both experiences. We should start practicing while we are young.

Wish I could be there with you but my boss, Mickey Mouse, has other plans for me.

I pray your experience is a building block that will grow you for HIs plan!

Thank you dearly!
