Silver Oak PTO Fitness Fun Run!
Silver Oak PTO Apex Fun Run is held annually in Spring. All students participate in this event as part of the school's Physical Fitness Program. Pledge forms will be sent home with your child. Contributions are made as a flat dollar amount or per lap amount. Students that raise funds will be eligible for a variety of prizes and awards.
Funds raised by this event will be used to support physical education, health and wellness at Silver Oak.
- Teacher Pastime Items benefit the offering teacher's classroom
- Librarian Pastime Items benefit the school library
- Office Pastime Items & "For–A–Day" Items benefit the PTO general fund which is used to bridge school support gaps and/or provide for non-budgeted additional items for the school.
Fundraising Events:
Silver Oak Educational Partnership (SOEP) believes that as a community, if we achieve our pledge participation goals, it will not only reinstate funding for the overall enrichment and support that SOEP provides for Silver Oak... it will also forge a powerful team of families committed to an elementary school experience for our children that is above and beyond what is otherwise possible.
Every family's participation in our annual pledge drive is needed and so very appreciated to continue Silver Oak's tradition of excellence in education. Silver Oak relys on funding from the district, as well as financial support and program management from SOEP to provide an enriched and balanced education that shapes every student's elementary school years here.
We encourage all families to pledge $375 per student to allow us to meet our current program and school support commitments. If you are able to pledge an amount higher than $375, it allows SOEP to explore other ways to invest in our classrooms and better support the needs of our students & teachers.
Extracurricular programs that are organized by SOEP/PTO are NOT FUNDED by pledge dollars. Programs such as Upper and Lower Grade Plays, Math Olympiad, Math Kangaroo, and Talent Show are self-funding programs that are paid for by registration fees.
Thank you for helping Silver Oak "Grow and Succeed" as our kids return to in-person learning for the 2023-2024 school year!
Silver Oak PTO's Parents' Night Out is an annual event held in winter or spring where parents and community members come together for a fun evening of dinner and dancing.
