Underway

Garden
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
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
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
PVA brings Pine View families together throughout the year — socials, recognition events, and gatherings that build community.
Pine Views magazine
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.
PVA2 — The Alumni Community
Pine View alumni stay connected through PVA2, our separate alumni site at pva2.org — alumni directory, news from past graduating classes, and the Alumni Fund. This year's alumni giving: $2,978 in donations supporting current and future Pine View students.
Visit pva2.orgCommunity Giving
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.

Where the money went
Final, fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.
Total: $595,189
That is more than the year raised, on purpose: funding requests came in at $293,060 against a $200,000 budget, and PVA covered the difference rather than turning requests down.
Looking ahead
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.
