Olivia Rose Engel was six years old when she attended Sandy Hook Elementary on the morning of December 14, 2012. Born July 18, 2006, Olivia enjoyed dance, tennis, soccer, swimming, art and music, was a Daisy Girl Scout, and was a proud big sister to her three-year-old brother, Brayden. She was a first-grade student known for a radiant smile and infectious giggle and had been scheduled to play an angel in a church play that evening.

That morning, 20-year-old Adam Lanza forced his way into the school after fatally shooting his mother at their home and opened fire in two first-grade classrooms. Olivia was among 20 students and six educators killed in the attack. Law enforcement later found the attacker dead at the scene and investigators were unable to determine a motive.

If anyone knew Olivia, her classroom, or has memories to share about that day, please contribute what you remember.
