October 9, 2012 > Oliveira Elementary soars! Oliveira Elementary soars! Submitted By Linda Anderson, Principal Fremont's Oliveira Elementary School students began the 2012-13 school year knowing they will continue to SOAR to new heights. On September 7, the third day of school, all 630 students assembled on the field at 12:30 p.m. and greeted by the sounds of their new school song titled, "SOAR," which stands for Safety, Ownership, Attitude and Respect. The song was written by school volunteer Alanna Pagtakan and recorded by 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Sherri Hamilton with back up recording by the entire Oliveira Staff. After listening to the song and chanting together, "Lets Soar!" 12 white "doves" (actually, homing pigeons) were released to signify the value of working and collaborating together. The expressions on the students' faces were priceless as they realized the value of each individual on the Oliveira campus. Here are the lyrics to Oliveira's new school song: SOAR Oliveira Eagles! The school year's finally here Where young minds take flight And soar across the sun lit skies Solving problems together Perseverance is honored And making friends along the way... So much in life to discover Ancient times and all the wonders The minute you walk right through the door... Come on (x4) Let's Soar!
