Our Impact · Through April 2026

A year at the Pine View Association.

Each year, PVA invests in the programs, classrooms, and people that make Pine View what it is. This page is a recap of the 2025–26 school year: where the support went, what it made possible, and what's next.

Capital Improvements

Investing in the campus over time.

Each year PVA draws on reserves built over time to fund larger campus improvements, the kind of work that lives beyond a single school year. Below: what's underway now and what came before.

Underway

Media center update

PVA is funding a major update to Pine View's media center, opening for the 2026–27 school year. One of PVA's most significant capital commitments to date, drawn from reserves built over multiple years.

School entrance sign

A new sign at Pine View's main campus entrance, funded by PVA.

Pine View's clubs go further than most. PVA backs them through two channels: the Pine View Fair, where every dollar collected is distributed directly to participating campus clubs and classrooms, and direct funding requests reviewed at every monthly board meeting.

$34,636

Pine View Fair

Distributed directly to over 80 Pine View clubs and classrooms.

Garden

Pollinators, vegetables, and a campus that composts.

The Garden Committee, led by Lesley Sachs, runs a year-round program serving every grade — a high school garden club, daily middle school visits, elementary classroom partnerships. In partnership with UF-IFAS, the garden composts cafeteria waste and grows pollinator and flower beds across campus.

This year Lesley planted an entirely new garden in front of Pine View's administration building. The full $3,000 garden budget was put to work, with year-to-date spend of $3,692 covering materials, plants, and ongoing operations.

Faculty Appreciation

A year of recognizing the people who teach our kids.

Pine View's teachers and staff are why the school is what it is. PVA recognizes them year-round — not as an afterthought, but as a sustained commitment.

Faculty & Staff Appreciation spend this year: $10,794. P.A.C.E. funds distributed directly to teachers: $67,311.

Student Recognition

When the school recognizes a student, PVA brings the celebration.

Pine View's faculty selects students for recognition through Pine View Pride for upper grades and Proud Python for elementary. PVA provides the volunteers and the celebration — including the ice cream parties, awards, and the moments that mark a student's hard work.

This year's Pine View Pride spend: $11,271 across three Pride seasons. Proud Python (elementary): $3,980 across three quarters.

Community

Events for the families and friends who make Pine View possible.

PVA brings Pine View families together throughout the year — socials, recognition events, and gatherings that build community.

Laura Roberts Luncheon — May, recognizing dedicated parent volunteers of graduating seniors

Pine Views magazine

Five issues a year, mailed to every Pine View family.

Pine Views is PVA's magazine — student spotlights, teacher tributes, sponsor recognition, event recaps, and the school year captured in print. This year, under editor Kelly Fitzgerald, the magazine continues to evolve with a refreshed design and stronger storytelling.

This year's Pine Views production cost: $13,244 across all five issues, mailed to Pine View families who opt in to the school directory.

How to receive Pine Views

When you register or re-register your student for the upcoming school year, opt in to the school directory and your household will be added to the Pine Views distribution list. Already missing an issue? Email admin@yourpva.org and we'll add you manually.

Community Giving

Giving back beyond Pine View.

PVA is a Pine View organization first — but we are also part of a larger community, and we are proud to give back to it. Each year, PVA supports organizations that serve children and families across Sarasota County through financial contributions and hands-on volunteer service.

Take Stock in Children — $10,000

Supporting at-risk students across Sarasota County through mentoring, college preparation, and scholarship support. Each year PVA purchases two Florida Pre-Paid scholarships, which Take Stock in Children assigns to one Pine View student and one district student showing academic promise. Giving back to the larger community and impacting lives outside Pine View matters to us.

Children First — Back to School Supplies

Each August, PVA volunteers collect and donate school supplies for children served by Children First, helping kids in our community start the school year prepared and ready to learn.

Children First — Holiday Pajamas and Books

During the holidays, PVA families donate new pajamas and new books for children ages 0–5 served by Children First — bringing a little warmth and a first library to families who need it most.

Free Book Fairs — Used Book Collection

During Reading Month each February, Pine View families donate thousands of gently used children's books. PVA partners with Free Book Fairs, a local nonprofit founded by PVA board members Shauna Wagner and Evan Morgan, to distribute these books directly to children at Title 1 schools and Head Start centers across Sarasota and Manatee counties. In 2026, Pine View families donated over 5,000 books.

We believe that supporting our broader community strengthens everyone — including our own Pine View families. These projects give our students and families meaningful opportunities to volunteer and serve alongside one another.

Reserves and stewardship

Building the foundation for what's next.

PVA holds approximately $872,094 in reserves at fiscal year-end — a balance built over years of careful stewardship. These reserves serve three purposes:

Stability

Funding programs in years when fundraising is lighter.

Capacity

Taking on multi-year commitments like the media center update.

Response

Meeting unexpected needs that emerge mid-year.

Year-to-date net income through April 2026: $201,747. The board reviews reserves and target levels annually.

Looking ahead

What's coming in 2026–27.

The renovated media center opens for students
Student Space Flight Experiment launches to the International Space Station, fall 2026
Annual sponsorship drive opens July through September
PVA's annual cycle of events, fundraising, and recognition begins again

We continue to invest in Pine View — academic programs, community events, faculty support, capital improvements — funded by the families, sponsors, and community members who make this work possible.
