Red Oak Community School's 2025 Annual Fundraiser & Silent Auction! This event is our anchoring fundraiser and it's success is critical in meeting our annual fundraising goal.

Hosted by Understory, The Keystone will be a laid-back evening of drinks, food, music and good company as we celebrate another successful year at ROCS. We'll highlight our work, honor the work of others, all while keeping an eye on closing bids! Each ticket includes heavy hors d'oeuvres and two drink tickets.

Dress for this event is whatever makes you feel at your best. Festive, casual, or something in between! This is a safe space for all flavors of fashion and expression.

The silent auction opens for bids on March 24th and closes the evening of the Keystone at 7:00p. Items are still being added, but you can get a sneak peek here!

A FREE event. Open to the public. No RSVP required. Designed for early childhood (3-8yrs). This is a parent education/participation event.

A play date with a purpose! 

While we roast our marshmallows, two ROCS educators and the School Manager will lead a discussion around the fire about how to navigate conflict with elementary age kids. The play area will be open and ready for play for all!
