Rose City Park Grade School Closed Forever!
After 96 years of educating students, the doors closed at Rose City Park Grade School (RCP) at the end of the 2007 school year. On Sunday, June 3rd, 2007 from 2:00 to 5:00pm, a celebration took place at the school, which included a Kickoff Ceremony, including special guest speakers, a roll call of classes, and current and alumni staff recognition on the school playground. Music, refreshments, historic photo displays, and gatherings for alumni students and staff members will all be part of the festivities. There was a LOT of people there. It was very warm and unusually humid, but we made to rounds to all the classes. Having not been back since 1969, it was a shock to see that the school had been remodeled. The main hall was broken up into various sections, the corridors where the hall and lockers used to be are now partial classrooms. I spent many hours in the hallway, especially in 5th grade, outside of Miss Braat's classroom. You can view some of the photos taken on the closing day at the closing celebration gallery

Rose City Park Class of 1969 celebrated their collective 50th birthdays on Saturday August 13th, 2005 at Colwood Golf Course.

Sure, we took some photos. You can see them by clicking BIRTHDAY BASH '05

Many thanks to all those on the reunion committee who worked long and hard planning a great evening for everyone. In 2005, as with 2004's 35 Year Reunion, approximately 1/3 of our classmates attended the birthday bash.

Our next planned reunion is scheduled for 2009, when we will celebrate our 40 Year Class of 1969 Reunion. We will post periodic updates here our our class website as things develop. This year our biggest challenge over the next few years will be to find our 'lost' classmates - those classmates, for whatever reason, we couldn't make contact. So, if you know of a brother, sister, cousin, parents, former spouse, kids, whatever type hint or lead you can offer, the reunion committee will hunt them down and make sure they have an invitation to attend. You can email the committee at Reunion at RoseCityPark1969 dot com or send an message on the 'Contact' link above

Please check our list of MISSING CLASSMATES We need your help in tracking down those we cannot find. We look forward to seeing everyone again!
