GIVING AT PVCA
DONATE HERE“Not that I am seeking a gift,
but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.”
~ Philippians 4:17
Dear PVCA Families, Friends, and Alumni,
I am excited to introduce myself as the new Director of Development at Pioneer Valley Christian Academy. While I am stepping into this new role, I have been a part of the PVCA family for the past 12 years, and it has been a tremendous blessing. As a mother first and foremost, I could not imagine my two sons anywhere else. The love and Truth that has been poured into my two sons, Charlie and Benjamin, over their many years at PVCA has been a true gift to our family. Throughout my time here, I have witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact PVCA has had on many of our students and alumni, and I am humbled to take on this position because I believe deeply in our mission of equipping students to know Truth, pursue academic excellence, and live with integrity.
Below you will find PVCA’s first ever IMPACT Report highlighting the 2023-2024 academic year, student and alumni testimonies, an overview of our strategic priorities, and the major milestones we have planned for the next five years. I look forward to partnering with you in this mission as we continue to invest in the future of our school and the lives of our students.
Thank you,
Caroline Funchion
