Fundraising

Students raise funds throughout the year by selling Holiday Grams. Monies raised go to Silver Oak projects.

Spirit Week & Pep Rallies

Student Council brings students together to celebrate our school through Spirit Weeks and Pep Rallies. During Spirit Week, each day Student Council representatives visit all classrooms to tally participation. Only students who are wearing proper spirit wear are counted (no post-its for colors etc.) The primary and upper grade classrooms with the highest percentage of participation are awarded the "We Have Spirit!" toilet seat (to go with the golden plunger). The toilet seat will be passed on throughout the year.

Community Service Projects

Silver Oak students and their families generously serve and support the community in many ways. Each year, Student Council decides and participates in several programs such as, Toys for Tots, Pennies for Patients- Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and Survival Snacks for Sacred Heart.
