Hello PV Elementary Families,
We have a few updates to share with you regarding upcoming dates and events. First of all, thank you all SO MUCH for the incredibly generous donations to our book drive to benefit our third grade friends at Alta Vista Elementary School! 107 third graders from Alta Vista arrived at Pine View this morning for our second annual Literacy Lollapalooza. Pine View Families donated so many gorgeous, high-quality books, and they were right at the 3rd graders’ reading level! Each third grade visitor went home with FOUR new chapter books and TWO picture books as well! Some of the visitors were literally screaming with excitement! 😊 I had to deliver something to their bus right before they left to go back to their school and even though there were over 50 kids on the bus, it was pin-drop quiet – EVERYONE was reading! We are so lucky to have so many resources to share, and I can’t thank you all enough for the impact you had on some very grateful kids. On a separate note, we need to share that the YMCA has decided to discontinue their aftercare program here at Pine View. Aftercare will end after this week. (Before care is not affected, and will continue through the end of the year.) When we surveyed families last year about interest in aftercare, the YMCA thought the program would be financially viable, but due to low enrollment it was not. This announcement came as a surprise to us, and we are sorry for any inconvenience. Upcoming Dates: Thursday, 2/28/19, 9:15 am – Elementary Parent Coffee in the Student Union. Our topics for this week will include the class scheduling/teacher assignment process as well as a discussion of student electronics. Saturday, 3/2/19, 11 am – 4 pm – Pine View Fair! The Fair might be the most exciting fundraiser for our students – our whole campus is transformed with rides and booths and food galore! You will be impressed with how independent your children can be, and I recommend signing up to run a ride or help out as a great way to meet other parents and to support our school. The sign-up link is here: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/30e0b49afac2ca3fc1-pine1 Monday, 3/4/19, 4 pm – 7 pm – 5th grade fundraiser at Chick-fil-a! Please see note from the sponsor: Please support our 5th graders by coming out to the new Chick-fil-A located at 8400 S. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota on Monday, March 4th, from 4-7pm. 20% of sales to Pine View families during those 3 hours will be donated to the PV Class of 2026! Make sure to let the employees know when ordering that you are supporting Pine View Spirit Night. Drive-thru sales count too!

Participation is free and classes with the most participation earn bragging rights. 😊 Friday, 3/29/19 – Kids Night Out – Sign your child up for a great night of fun, benefiting the sophomore class. Friday, 4/5 and Saturday 4/6 – Pine View Drama Club Play: Newsies! - The spring play is always a musical, and our younger students love seeing the older ones perform. As an adult, I have to say I love it too! Saturday, 4/13/19 – Python Run – Pine View students are talented in so many ways! Come on out and join us for a 5k through campus and the surrounding neighborhood. Please see attached registration form (in resources) if you are interested in participating. (DATE CORRECTED - 4/13!)
