Silver Oak Fine Arts is comprised of music, art, and performing arts. SOEP/PTO supports both in-class music and art instruction for all grades, as well as coordinates extracurricular Fine Arts programs that students have the option to register for and participate in over the course of the school year.
Our classroom Fine Arts programs are funded by our annual Pledge Drive. Extracurricular offerings are self-funding via registration fees to cover program costs.
CLASSROOM STUDIO ART
Arts Attack is a year long program, offering monthly art projects for the students to complete in the classroom.
Teachers work with students on an art project at the end of the School Year which is displayed for the entire school to enjoy and during Open House for any new families to get a sneak peek at some wonderful art projects that students of Silver Oak Elementary have worked on.
CLASSROOM MUSIC INSTRUCTION
At Silver Oak Elementary, we give a balanced education by providing every class with music instruction. TK/K work on understanding music instruments and how they sound, whereas 1-4th graders enjoy music instruction and learning about notes and 5th/6th grades learn to play Ukulele and perform at the end of the school year.
HOLIDAY CHOIR
Holiday Choir is a wonderful program where students from grades 1st-3rd sing some holiday songs and learn to work in a team environment and singing in Chorus.
UPPER GRADE PLAY
The Upper Grade Play is performed by 4 – 6 graders in the Fall and they are instructed on every aspect of performing in a play from dialogue delivery to performing in front of an audience which definitely prepares them for public speaking in the future.
LOWER GRADE PLAY
The Lower Grade Play is performed by 1st – 3rd graders in the Spring and they are introduced to stage presence and performing in front of an audience. They also learn teamwork, dialogue delivery and gaining confidence on stage.

Silver Oak PTO is pleased to offer the Silver Oak Holiday Choir again this year. Students in grades 1-3, this is your chance to shine in our holiday vocal ensemble showcase! Our Holiday Choir will learn seasonal songs to perform for school assemblies and an evening show before our holiday break.
Choir capacity is limited to 40 singers. This program tends to fill quickly!
Parents are required to practice the choir songs at home to make sure the children are ready to give a great performance at the end of the program. Some ways to do that is to play the songs in the car, at home, sing with them, etc. Basically have FUN! There will be no paper or screen provided on the day of the performance and hence, kids are required to try their best to memorize the songs.
Eligible Grades: Open to 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade Silver Oak students
Cost: $65 for members / $90 for nonmembers (No refunds will be processed after September 13, 2024 at 5p.m.)
