Roguewood Events
“Art Around Town”
You and your family will be able to view featured artwork from Roguewood students, at various Rockford locations throughout the year!
Family Bowling
We rent out Rockford Lanes exclusively for Roguewood families on this fun night! Yes, that means just Roguewood families in the whole place - all evening! For your convenience, Rockford Lanes will also have food and beverage available for purchase. A SignUpGenius will be sent out, closer to the date, to reserve your time spot and provide payment details.
Book Bingo
An evening of fun for families, where BINGO! wins you a book! Popcorn, pop, and snacks will be available for purchase. Admission costs: the donation of a gently used book!
Field Day
A fun time of outdoor play! Some past events have included a sack run, a three-legged run,
a football toss, various relay races, parachute play, and an extremely popular tug-of-war.
Book Fair & Conferences
The Scholastic Book Fair is held in the library all week during conferences, as well as evenings, during conferences for parents to visit. Students attend the fair with their class during a designated time (which will be sent home). During this time, students can either make purchases or create a wishlist.
Conferences make for a very long school day for teachers! To show them how much we appreciate that, the PTO provides dinner for them on conference nights. In the past we have done themed meals, by donated items, or (if required) we may choose to cater, like last year. Either way, we SO appreciate your generous support and donations to make this possible!
Food Truck Fiesta
Various food trucks will be parked at Roguewood so you can leave the cooking to them - buy dinner out and enjoy a family picnic on the grass! Kids can also take advantage of free face painting and games! A silent auction of Teacher/Staff experiences with students, will run simultaneously to the Fiesta. Proceeds will support the Spanish Immersion Boosters and to supplement PTO funding.
Mileage Club
M,W,F Fall & Spring - Students walk or run 1/4 mile laps around the soccer field adjacent to the playground during last recess - receiving a punch in their card for every lap completed. For every punch card completed (20 punches = 5 miles), a foot charm is awarded!
Popcorn Days
12 Fridays throughout the school year, Students who’ve ordered and pre-payed for popcorn, receive a bag of popcorn that is sent home. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept same day / individual payments. Also, in the consideration of possible allergies, the popcorn is popped in sunflower oil.
Pumpkin Run-A-Thon
Kindergarten - 2nd grade students run multiple laps around the soccer field while 3rd - 5th graders run a 5K around the neighborhood - SO much fun, as everyone cheers them on! At the conclusion of their run - they'll enjoy a crisp fall favorite snack!
Restaurant Nights
Throughout the school year, you can enjoy a family dinner at a local restaurant (or carry out) and the restaurant will donate a portion of your bill directly back to the school! Simply mention you are there to “Support Roguewood for Restaurant Night”. These fun evenings will be announced with date and location a couple weeks in advance.
Staff Appreciation Week
May - The staff at Roguewood is fantastic! For one week in May, the PTO makes a week-long celebration to show the depth of our appreciation! Food, prizes, and treats are provided by the generous support of local businesses and Roguewood families.
Donuts with Dad / Mornings with Mom
