Oak Terrace has a rich history. Built in 1916, later rebuilt in 2000-2001, our school song is based on the “On the Mall March” by Edwin Franco Goldman, composed in 1922. I surmise that it was written sometime in the 1920s. #SomosOT #112Leads ⁦Oak Terrace School⁩ #D112Teachers

The OT school song, I believe, written in 1920s, based on “On the Mall March” by EF Goldman. OT built in 1916, and March published in 1923. Learned from Vera, former student and secretary when I first came to OT in 1993. RIP Vera ♥️ #112Leads ⁦Oak Terrace School⁩ #D112Teachers
