Oprah Winfrey has taken her philanthropic efforts a step further and donated $100 million to an Atlanta middle school. The media mogul donated $1.5 million to Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

The middle school first made headlines for their "You Can Vote However You Like" YouTube video during the 2008 election promoting voter turnout. Now the middle school is receiving aid from Oprah to help its $2.8 million operating budget.

This is not the first time Oprah has helped the Academy, last December she made a donation of $365,000.

Through Winfrey's philanthropy the school is looking to build a cafeteria, gymnasium and theater.

Wow, Oprah. Can she adopt me now, please?
