Fundraising
Students raise funds throughout the year by selling Holiday Grams for Halloween and Valentine's Day. Monies raised go to Silver Oak projects.
Spirit Week & Pep Rallies
Student Council plays a crucial role in fostering school spirit. They organize Spirit Weeks and Pep Rallies to bring the student body together. During Spirit Week, Student Council representatives visit every classroom to count students who are wearing the designated spirit wear. The classrooms with the highest participation rate win the coveted "We Have Spirit!" toilet seat.
Every first Friday of the month, the Student Council hosts Silver Oak Sings (SOS). This school-wide assembly features a 15-minute karaoke session where students from all grade levels sing along and dance.
Community Projects
Silver Oak students and their families generously contribute to the community through various service initiatives. Student Council organizes and oversees student participation in several programs including:
International Walk to School Day
Silver Oak students, families, and staff join millions around the world in celebrating International Walk to School Day in October, This fun, active event encourages students to walk, bike, or roll to school. Organized by our Student Council, this annual event promotes healthy habits, reduces traffic congestion, and builds community as families travel to school together.
Red Ribbon Week at Silver Oak
Each fall, Silver Oak joins schools across the nation in celebrating Red Ribbon Week, a weeklong campaign dedicated to promoting healthy, drug-free lifestyles and empowering students to make positive choices. Student Council organizes this annual event that combines fun, engaging activities with meaningful conversations about safety, wellness, and the importance of making smart decisions.
Throughout the week, students learn age-appropriate strategies to resist peer pressure, build confidence, and care for their physical and mental health. Daily themes, schoolwide spirit days, and classroom discussions help reinforce the message that living drug-free supports stronger relationships, clearer thinking, and brighter futures. By participating, students not only learn how to make healthy choices for themselves but also become advocates for a safe, supportive school community.

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, sergeant of arms, and two historians — along with two class representatives from each 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 5th grade teacher Mr. Clopton. 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 like the Holiday Gram program — all while learning valuable leadership and teamwork skills.
