What are the Promotion Events?

Promotion events are fun and memorable events that are specifically for the Silver Oak 6th Grade graduating class. The activities typically include the following:

• 6th Grade SCVCC Pool Party (optional participation)
• 6th Grade School Field Trip (if offered - school-organized trip)
• 6th Grade Graduation Dance (optional participation)
• 6th Grade Promotion Ceremony (participation required)

Are Promotion Events mandatory?

The only event that is mandatory is the Promotion Ceremony.

POOL PARTY - optional, payment & pre-registration required
FIELD TRIP - optional, payment & permission slip required
DANCE - optional, payment & pre-registration required

---

Who is responsible for planning these events?

The POOL PARTY and DANCE are planned by your PROMOTION COMMITTEE. The committee usually has event teams that are responsible for planning and chaperoning each event.

The FIELD TRIP is planned and executed by the 6TH GRADE TEACHING STAFF. Each year they decide where the kids will go... usually Great America or Raging Waters. Information about this field trip and permission slips are sent home by the school. The teachers also serve as chaperones for this event.

The PROMOTION CEREMONY is a jointly executed event between the SCHOOL and the PROMOTION COMMITTEE. The school handles all the logistics for the ceremony, itself... and the cake. The committee handles the decorations, slideshow, ceremony check-in, any give-aways, and clean-up.

How can I volunteer with the Promotion Committee?

For those that would like to help out at events or on a sub-committee, please use this  Sign-Up Genius volunteer link. Many hands make light work, and help is most certainly needed to plan an amazing send-off for our kids!

If you are a fifth grade parent that is interested in leading the committee for the next promotion class, please let the current Promotion lead(s) know. This is an informal hand off, year-to-year. It helps to know who is interested in taking the reins for the next graduating class!

The Promotion Slideshow is a Silver Oak tradition that all parents and students look forward to enjoying. It is a 7-year stroll down memory lane to be presented during the Promotion Ceremony. What makes this memorable show possible is your photo contributions... we need your help collecting pictures!

WHAT DO WE NEED?

• 2 digital pictures of your child
  • one photo from kindergarten (or as close as possible)
  • one photo recently taken in 6th grade.
• Candid group digital pictures of Class of 2023 students at school events over the years. We'll use a selection of these submissions as time permits.

HOW SHOULD YOU SEND THEM TO US?
Please upload your pictures by type (Kinder, Current, or Group Candids) to the appropriate link below. When uploading your pictures, please put your child's first and last name in the "File Description" field so that we can easily identify the photos we are receiving. Higher resolution images are best to avoid blurry display on the big screen... we can resize them as necessary.

WHEN IS THE DEADLINE?
Please upload all pictures by FRIDAY, MAY 5th (end of day).

We cannot guarantee that late submissions will be included. The slideshow takes time to put together, so please be sure to meet this deadline. We would really love for all 6th grade students to be represented in the show!
