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.
STUDENT TALENT SHOWCASE
Every year at Silver Oak Elementary, we organize a Talent Show where students get to show off their unique talents in front of an audience and it is always fun to watch so much talent and skills present in the young kids of today.
Registration is now CLOSED - NO WALK-INS ALLOWED

Banished by the ferocious tiger, Shere Khan, a human boy named Mowgli and his panther friend, Bagheera, are on the run in the deepest parts of the jungle. On their journey, the two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd of elephants and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin' musical rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a band of monkeys led by King Louie, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run for their lives. When Shere Khan returns, our heroes must rally their fellow animals into battle and restore peace throughout the jungle. |
Silver Oak Lower Grade Play Students from grades 1 – 3 grades completed three wonderful shows on 5/9/24 and 5/10/24 after 3 months of hard work and dedication!
The play participants did an amazing job and the audience was simply mesmerized by how beautiful the performance was.
Thank you to our students, parents and our main lead volunteers: Suneet Gill, Kritin Hosseinipoor, Rashmi Ramaswamy and Dennis and Berta Rothenberg and all of our parent volunteers for helping to make the lower grade play a success. A special mention also goes out to Amanda Davis, our lovely parent volunteer who helped with the spectacular balloon decorations.
We would also like to express our gratitude to Ms. Carol Romo from Theatre Fun for her dedication and mentorship that helped the kids do such a commendable job!
