Dear Pine View School Parents and Community:
April is a wonderful time of year, and we have so many

exciting activities in all grades! We hope that you are able to
celebrate the many achievements of our students during the many
awards and culminating events in the coming weeks. Many of
these special and traditional PV events would not be possible
without the direct support and critical involvement of our
amazing Pine View parents- thank you for going the extra degree
for our students!
On April 16, Pine View is helping our students, staff, faculty
and our community build awareness of healthy choices and our 5-
2-1-0 program. At our third annual Python Run website,
http://pvpythonrun.com/ you will find information about the Python
Run 5K, as well as how you can contribute as a sponsor of the
race, race course information, and registration details. See you at the race!
On the school website, you will also find information about FSA schedules, Advanced
Placement (AP) mock schedules, Advanced Placement (AP) exam schedules, End of Course (EOC)
exam schedules and end of year activities. We will soon be celebrating “grad bash” in Orlando
with our seniors and know that we will have a wonderful time. Our students continue to impress
me daily, and through their scholarship, their behavior, and their commitment to sharing their
gifts with others, Pine View students truly distinguish themselves.
A construction information night was held in March, and we continue to strive to share
information and updates to our parents and community as it becomes available. This summer,
campus will be closed as Building 6, and many other areas of campus undergo renovation- rest
assured, parents and our community will still be able to get information and services throughout
the summer! Our phones will be re-routed, and there will be office personnel on-hand a few steps
away at the Purchasing Department, which is on Old Venice Road- just down the street! There will
be signage and directions posted so it will be clear where everyone can access assistance from Pine
View staff. The project is on-schedule and we are excited about the improvements to our campus
for our students and staff!
We are pleased that so many of you have taken advantage of our Remind.com service-
registration is easy! It’s free, and very easy to use. All you need to do is send a text message to
81010 with @pineviewsc in the message field. You will immediately receive a confirmation reply.
It may also ask you to enter your name so that I know who is registering, but it is not necessary (or
feel free to reply).
In addition to myriad academic achievements across all curricula, our students and teachers
are continuing the tradition of excellence at Pine View and consistently going 212- continuing our
tradition of excellence in the Sarasota County Schools’ Academic Olympic tournament, a world
qualifying performance at the STEM competition with our VEX Robotics team, our second annual
Elementary STEAM night and movie celebration, and talented musicians performing and
achieving distinction in band, chorus, and orchestra throughout Florida!” It is an honor and
privilege to serve our amazing students, teachers, and community, and we wish everyone an
outstanding spring!

but in the excellence of the work he produces.”

Learning by Growing
Mrs. Simon's class is having great fun and learning a lot about hydroponics thanks
to our tower garden. We have been growing and eating many varieties of lettuce, kale,
herbs, celery, and even berries. Students are getting hands-on experience and a belly
full of goodness. A special thanks to PV Alum and parent, Melissa Schildkraut, for
mentoring us through this process and to several families who helped fund our grant
through Gulf Coast Gives.

Speed on Campus
As many of you have noticed, speed limit
signs were posted several months ago on
campus reminding everyone that the speed limit
is 5mph. Thank you for driving with caution at
all times for the safety of our children.
We welcome and dismiss over 2,187 students
daily so congestion is to be expected. Also, if
you drop off in a car, when pulling up in the
morning, PLEASE remain in the right lane, and
pull as far forward as possible or directed, until
your child has exited your vehicle. Please do not
pass other cars to move ahead in the line. Over
the next few weeks, several speed bumps will be
added at various spots on Python Path so please
be aware of those and drive accordingly.
Lastly, this is just a reminder that the most important thing we do here
at Pine View every day is to keep our students safe. This is a team effort
and your attention to safety will keep our campus safer place for everyone.

Variety Show
The Pine View Variety Show was February 5th and 6th.
The Class of 2018 sponsored the Variety Show. The show
is open to Pine View students from grades 2 - 12. The
theme of this year’s show was Luminescence. Variety
Show directors were 10th grade students Madeline Blythe,
Arooj Khan, Soumya Kona and Alexandra Moyer. The
director’s shadows were Cate Alvaro, Pablo Gonzales,
Sarah Harding and William Khabbaz. Luminescence was
extremely entertaining. The directors did a tremendous
job of presenting a very smooth performance that kept the
audience entertained. Examples of acts - light rope
dancing, singing, hula hooping, Irish dancing and many
musicians. The house bands kept the atmosphere moving.
Once again another incredible Variety Show.

Judy Black Honored with
Congressional Teacher Award
U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan recognized outstanding public school teachers in Florida’s
16th Congressional District on March 18, 2016. The Congressman announced six
teachers who were chosen for the Congressional Teacher Awards, including Pine View’s
own Judy Black, for her accomplishments as a French teacher.
“I was once told that children are 25 percent of the population, but they are 100 percent of the
future,” said Buchanan. “And it's true. The education of a child is an investment, not only in that
student, but in the future of our country. That is why I established the Congressional Teacher
Awards to honor educators for their ability to teach and inspire students”
Twenty-five teachers were nominated by their principals. An independent panel of six judges
from Sarasota and Manatee counties chose the recipients of the Congressional Teacher Awards.
“On behalf of the people of Florida's 16th District I congratulate each of these outstanding
teachers and offer my sincere appreciation for their service and dedication,” concluded Buchanan.
Each of the school districts in Florida’s 16th District nominated teachers to receive the
Congressional Teacher Award. All of the nominated teachers were recognized by Buchanan and
honored by the Congressman in the Congressional Record for their achievements.

Student Astronauts
Congratulations to our Student Astronauts after 3 days of competition at the
Kennedy Space Center. While competing against mostly 8th graders our 6th graders took
2nd place in the landing competition.
There were 3 other challenges, simulation of launch, retrograde, and landing,
presenting a science experiment to be done on the International Space Station, and an
Engineering math competition. There were 10 other teams from Florida and Georgia.
Nolan Boucher, Abigail Koester, Aidan Hoey, Casey Consbruck, Demetri Papas,
Grace Arents, James Gray, Jaxon Carney, Joey Oliver, Max Marsh, Maximilian Carey,
and Tommy Morris did an outstanding job representing Pine View.
This competition was started 5 years ago by Peter Carafano and 3 friends at the
Florida State University School for high school students. It is sponsored by Kenney
Space Center, NASA, Coasis, and the Florida Engineering Foundation. This was the first
year they held the same competition for middle school.
How do you make the team?
Students had to download a 200 page flight manual, read it, study it, go to Orlando
on a Saturday, take a 2 hour, 100 question test with 4 other students. Their total score
for the team is ranked. The top 12 schools were invited to advance to state. Each school
can send as many teams to the regional test in Orlando, but only one team per school can
advance to state. They made an error in grading Pine View as a high school, and only 7
teams entered, so for this year they allowed all of us to advance to state.

Pine View Again Honored
as Five Star School
Pine View has earned the 2014-15 Florida Department of Education Five Star
School Award! The award will be presented in a ceremony at the Tuesday, May 3
School Board Meeting at 6:30 pm.
The Five Star School Award, first offered by the State of Florida Department of
Education in 1994-95, is a prestigious award designed to recognize schools with
exemplary programs that fully integrate the involvement of the following groups toward
student improvement:
 Business Partners,
 Families,
 Volunteers,
 Students, and
 School Advisory Councils.
Both the letter and spirit of the school improvement and accountability legislation
are built upon the active involvement of parents, guardians, business people, and other
community members in an effort to improve Florida's schools. The legislative intent is to
return the responsibility for education to those closest to the students. That is the
schools, teachers, and parents. Recognizing that the involvement of the community is
vital to student success, the Commissioner of Education and the former Commissioner’s
Community Involvement Council established the Five Star School Award.
This symbol of achievement is presented each year to those schools that have shown
evidence of exemplary community involvement. Eligible schools are designated annually
and must be renewed each year. Schools that achieve this designation will receive the
Florida Department of Education’s highest award for community involvement.
To qualify for this award, a school must achieve 100% of the 31 criteria in the
categories of Business Partnerships, Family Involvement, Volunteers, Student
Community Service, and School Advisory Councils. The school must also have a portfolio
that documents the achievement of each criterion. Also, a school must have a grade of “C” or
above for the 2014-2015 school year to qualify for the Five Star School Award.

Let’s Start with Hello
on Friday April 8th
At every school and in every community there are young people who suffer silently
because they feel left out, alone or invisible.
Social isolation is an individual’s perceived or real separation from a group of peers.
It is a feeling that you don’t fit in, that you don’t belong, or that you have been left out.
The separation may be the result of a rejection from others, or from the person’s own
withdrawal from others. Social isolation can happen in person or online. Social isolation
can become a serious issue. Young people who experience social isolation can become a
victim of bullying, violence and/or depression. As a result, many pull further away from
society, struggle with learning and social development and/or may choose to hurt
themselves or others. There is a difference between social isolation and healthy alone
time. Not all alone time is bad. Healthy alone time is when you choose to be alone to
clear your mind, take a break from “socializing,” give time to focus on and recharge
yourself, and/or work through problems or possibilities without any outside influence.
Some people are introverted, and need more healthy alone time than others.
Fostering inclusion and community is an important life skill and with practice,
simple to do every day. There is no age limit to reaching out to and helping others! Pine
View School
administrators,
counselors, and the
PVA Wellness
Committee would like
to empower all
students and staff to
reach out and start
with hello on Friday
April 8th. Teachers
will provide students
with name tags to
wear. During morning
announcements on
April 8th we will
encourage everyone to
greet each other by
first name in the
hallway, lunchroom, classroom, EVERYWHERE!
“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the
world.”
