Walk & Roll to School Day
Wednesday, October 7 | 7:50-8:05 a.m.
Silver Oak’s newly elected Student Council is launching its first event of the year with our annual Walk & Roll to School celebration. Our student leaders are encouraging families to walk, bike, or scooter to school while bringing attention to safe streets, healthy habits, and caring for our environment.
This event gives Student Council an opportunity to turn leadership into action by highlighting an ongoing concern at Silver Oak: student safety during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup. Walking and rolling can help reduce traffic around campus, but keeping children safe requires everyone’s participation—including families who drive.
San José Councilmember Domingo Candelas, who represents District 8, including Evergreen, will join the event. His participation connects our students’ efforts with the broader importance of safe neighborhood streets and routes to school for Evergreen families.
Families can support Student Council’s message every day by slowing down near campus, watching for children, keeping crosswalks and sidewalks clear, and using designated drop-off and pickup areas. Avoiding double-parking and allowing extra time helps make arrival and dismissal safer for everyone.
Join our student leaders on October 7 as they carry on a Silver Oak tradition and encourage safe, considerate travel throughout the year.
Red Ribbon & Spirit Week
October 26–30, 2026
Silver Oak’s Student Council is bringing students together for Red Ribbon & Spirit Week with daily activities and dress-up themes that promote kindness, school spirit, and healthy, drug-free choices. Students in every grade are invited to participate!
Daily Activities & Spirit Themes
-
Monday — “Stop Drugs with Kindness”: Color a kindness sheet.
-
Tuesday — “Love, Not Drugs”: Wear red or a school shirt.
-
Wednesday — “Stick It to Drugs”: Wear a supportive sticker throughout the school day.
-
Thursday — “Win the Battle Against Drugs”: Wear your favorite team’s apparel or a school shirt.
-
Friday — “Scare Drugs Away”: Wear a Halloween costume or a school shirt.
Through this event, our student leaders encourage their classmates to care for themselves, support one another, and make safe choices.
Families can help by reviewing the daily themes with their children and planning ahead. There’s no need to purchase a special outfit—school shirts are welcome on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Thank you for supporting our student leaders and helping everyone take part!

About
Silver Oak’s Student Council gives students a voice in our school community and an opportunity to develop leadership skills. The council consists of six student officers: president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, communications, and historian, along with one class representative from each 4th, 5th and 6th grade class.
Leadership opportunities begin in 4th grade, when students can serve as class representatives selected within their classrooms. In 5th and 6th grades, students may continue as representatives or run for officer positions through the annual Student Council election process held each September, with voting by their peers.
Student Council meets monthly from October through May under the guidance of 4th grade teacher Mrs. Price. Members manage programs such as the student store, recycling, community service projects, and school spirit rallies. They also plan schoolwide activities, provide input on school decisions, and raise funds through events, all while learning valuable leadership and teamwork skills.
