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 Service 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 Red Ribbon Week and Walk n Roll. In past years, the school has also supported Toys for Tots, Pennies for Patients (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society), and Survival Snacks for Sacred Heart.
