Parkside Reunion

Parkside Elementary School Reunion and Time Capsule Event Join the Parkside PTO in celebrating the legacy of Parkside Elementary School, the first elementary building in the Rockford Public District, established in 1954. Before the building undergoes renovations, we invite all former students, staff, and community members to visit and share their memories. As part of the event, we’re creating a Parkside Time Capsule and encourage contributions such as newspaper articles, artwork, photos, CDs, T-shirts, letters, and keepsakes. These items will help future generations connect with Parkside’s history and will be preserved at the Rockford Area Museum. Date: June 3, 2025 Time: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM Location: Parkside Elementary School Note: Refreshments will be available on the playground. The event is open to the public and accessible to all.
