MARIE SELBY BOTANICAL GARDENS’ HISTORIC SPANISH POINT CAMPUS

The past meets the future at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens’ Historic Spanish Point campus. Art meets nature here too.

Located in Osprey about seven miles north of Venice, Selby Gardens’ Historic Spanish Point campus is a 30-acre museum and preserve perched on Little Sarasota Bay. The first site in Sarasota County to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it showcases native Florida plants while preserving and interpreting thousands of years of regional history.

Visitors can explore several distinct periods of the past as they roam the picturesque campus. The archaeological record shows that ancient peoples made their home here as far back as 5,000 years. In fact, the very land that forms today’s campus was made by human hands! By recycling shells from feasts and constructing a platform on which to build homes and hold ceremonies, the First Floridians who lived here gained safety from storm tides and enjoyed the same bay breezes visitors do today. An exhibit

titled “A Window to the Past” lets you literally look back in time at a cross-section of the shell mound that was built here beginning 2,500 years ago.

Moving forward, the site celebrates over 150 years of pioneer heritage dating to homesteaders who settled here in 1867. Visitors may tour a carefully restored 1901 pioneer home, the rehabilitated Mary’s Chapel (with original stainedglass windows and bronze bell), and a reconstructed citrus packinghouse that was a center of local commerce.

Next comes the era of Bertha Palmer, a famous Chicago businesswoman and innovator who chose the site as her winter estate in 1910. Palmer preserved the pioneer buildings and connected them to lavish formal gardens and lawns, three of which—the Sunken Garden, Duchene Lawn, and Jungle Walk Garden—can still be enjoyed today.

The property’s bountiful plant life has become an even greater focus since Historic Spanish Point was adopted by Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in 2020 as a companion to its Downtown Sarasota campus. More than half of the species of native plants found in Sarasota County can be admired along the nature trails and boardwalks of the Historic Spanish Point campus. New features since the adoption include the region’s only butterfly house, which sits next to the large native butterfly garden. Food service and a campus-tocampus boat tour are also available.

On view from November 9 through August 31, 2025, Patti Smith: A Book of Days features a selection of photographs taken by the famed poet and musician that offers an intimate view of her life on and off the road. With photographs taken

from Smith’s recently published, New York Times bestselling publication, A Book of Days, her compelling images take visitors on a journey through time and space, charting both the course of a year and the natural environment of the Historic Spanish Point campus.

Venice, Florida shark tooth capital of the world

Imagine Venice submerged under water and the area infested with sharks! Some larger than any shark known to man today. This was in fact the case millions of years ago, and over time, as the water receded, the prehistoric sharks died. Each creature sheds 20-25 thousand teeth in their lifetime, which became fossilized. Our beaches sit on top of a fossil layer that runs over 30 feet deep. Over time, the fossils slowly emerge into the shallow waters and then up onto the beach by weather and surf.

Now known as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World, fossil seekers flock to Venice in search of the coveted Megalodon ‘Meg’ tooth that was once a part of that fearsomely large shark, some succeed and many leave with memories of adventure and shark teeth from several different, yet smaller, species. Visitors and residents become skilled at sifting for shark teeth through the sand or just strolling the beaches and spotting them in plain sight. Venice and Caspersen beaches are good spots to start, but anywhere south of the Venice Jetty can be the starting point of your shark tooth-hunting journey.

CITY OF VENICE

The City of Venice is beautiful, historical, and vibrant, with something for everyone.

Venice features gorgeous, world-class beaches; a thriving downtown with a plethora of unique shops and restaurants for all tastes and budgets; a wide variety of outdoor activities like golf, fishing and boating, kayaking and paddleboarding, tennis and pickleball; special events and activities nearly every week; picture-perfect weather; and stunning natural beauty.

As designed by world-renowned landscape architect John Nolen in 1926, Venice has more than 30 parks. Some of the more unique spaces include the Brohard Paw Park, where dogs may romp on the sand along the Gulf of Mexico with their owners; Venetian Waterway Park, where people can bike and hike on a 5-mile stretch along both sides the Intracoastal Waterway; and Centennial Park downtown, where free concerts are held in the Gazebo and kids can play in the Interactive Children’s Fountain. Tranquil West Blalock Park includes the

Monty Andrews Arboretum, where over 80 species of trees and palms are identified with information signs.

Venice looks the way it does in large part due to the tireless volunteers with Venice Area Beautification Inc. – VABI for short – who spend countless hours trimming, weeding, planting and watering, helping to ensure the City’s blooming downtown and parks are exceptional.

Venice’s history is captured in the Venice Museum on Nassau Street, a fun, educational and free way to spend the afternoon. Exhibits range from fossils found in the area to how the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Kentucky Military Institute, Venice Army Air Base, and Ringling Bros. Circus shaped the City’s story. Don’t forget to visit the museum’s distinctive gift shop, with its unique, one-ofa-kind items.

Public art abounds, with colorful murals and sculptures of native wildlife. These beautiful artworks can be found

downtown, on exterior walls of local businesses, and in parks.

Our “City on the Gulf” boasts 3.5 miles of beach available to the public with free parking. The Venice Fishing Pier and South Jetty are two other popular, scenic locations to take in the area’s turquoise waters and spectacular sunsets.

The real estate market is thriving, there are plenty of diverse job opportunities, health-care facilities are preeminent, and the schools are some of the best in the state. The area is perfect for young families, and it’s also ideal for those looking to retire – there are so many amenities for all walks of life.

The place still has a midcentury feel, with concrete block walls, clean architectural lines and the original terrazzo floor in the upstairs units. “There’s not a lot of us mom and pop establishments left on the gulf coast. We continue to upgrade the property, but it is important to me that Island House retains its original character. The local paint store refers to our building’s coral color as “Island House Pink”.

PREPARING FOR NATURE’S FURY Understanding Hurricane Season

by David Joyner, Owner, Joyner Family Insurance

The annual arrival of hurricane season starts in June and usually extends to November, bringing with it the ominous threat of powerful storms that can wreak havoc on land and sea alike.

Hurricane season is not a uniform period of continuous activity but instead follows certain patterns influenced by various meteorological factors. In the Atlantic Basin, for instance, the peak of the season typically occurs from mid-August to late October, when conditions are most favorable for storm formation. However, storms can and do form earlier or later in the season, influenced by ocean temperatures, atmospheric conditions, and global weather patterns like El Niño and La Niña.

By taking the following precautions, you can better prepare yourself before, during and after as well as financially in case your property is affected by a hurricane.

Check your current insurance coverage: Review your existing homeowners or renters’ insurance policy to understand what is already covered in terms of natural disasters like hurricanes. Typically, standard policies may cover wind damage but not flooding.

Consider additional coverage: If you live in a hurricane-prone area, you may need additional coverage for flood damage. Flood insurance is typically purchased separately from homeowners’ insurance and on average takes 30 days to acquire, unless required by your lender.

Understand your policy limits and deductibles: Make sure you know the limits of coverage and any deductibles that apply. Deductibles for hurricanes or wind damage may be different from those for other types of claims.

Evaluate

replacement cost vs. actual cash value: Understand whether your policy covers replacement cost (the cost to replace your belongings at today’s prices) or actual cash value (replacement cost minus depreciation).

Document your belongings: Keep an inventory of your belongings and their value. This will help you file a claim more efficiently if your property is damaged.

Review and update your policy annually: Regularly review your insurance coverage to ensure it meets your current needs and reflects any changes in your property or belongings. Be sure to print your policy and keep it safe, take it with you if you evacuate. At the very least, know your policy number, effective dates and claims phone numbers.

Contact your JFI insurance agent: Our experienced insurance agents at Joyner Family Insurance are here to help you navigate the complexities of insurance coverage and ensure you have adequate protection against hurricanes and other risks.

BEING PREPARED SAVES LIVES

Preparation is key to mitigating the impact of hurricanes on communities and individuals. Early awareness and planning can significantly reduce the risk of injury and property damage. Here are essential steps to take before hurricane season.

Develop a Family Emergency Plan: Establish evacuation routes, designate meeting points, and ensure everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.

Build an Emergency Kit: Stock up on essential supplies, such as non-perishable food, water, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents.

Secure

Your Property: Trim trees, secure loose outdoor items, reinforce windows and doors, and consider installing storm shutters or impact-resistant glass.

Stay Informed

:

Monitor weather forecasts and warnings from trusted sources. Sign up for emergency alerts provided by local authorities.

DURING THE STORM

When a hurricane approaches, follow these guidelines to stay safe:

• Evacuate if Necessary: If authorities recommend evacuation, follow their instructions promptly.

• Seek Shelter: Stay indoors during the storm. Avoid windows and doors, and take refuge in a designated safe room or basement.

• Stay Informed: Keep a battery-powered radio or smartphone handy to receive updates.

AFTER THE STORM

Once the hurricane has passed, the dangers are not over. Be cautious of hazards, such as flooding, downed power lines, and weakened structures. Only return home when authorities deem it safe to do so.

Hurricane season is a time of heightened vigilance for our community, where the forces of nature can be both awe-inspiring and devastating. By understanding the seasonal patterns, preparing in advance, and staying informed during a storm, individuals and communities can better protect themselves against this powerful natural phenomenon. Through proactive planning and swift action, we can mitigate the impact of hurricanes and ensure our safety and resilience in the face of nature’s fury.

FINDING THE RIGHT ADVISOR TO SELL YOUR HOME

By Victoria Stultz - Broker/Owner Engel & Völkers Suncoast

Navigating the real estate market can be a complex endeavor, especially for sellers looking to get the best possible deal for their property. One of the most crucial steps in this process is finding the right real estate advisor. Here’s how you can effectively interview a realtor to ensure they are the perfect fit for your needs.

First, consider their experience and track record. Ask potential realtors about their recent sales history, specifically focusing on properties similar to yours. Inquire about how long these properties stayed on the market and how close the final sale price was to the initial listing price. This will give you a sense of their expertise and ability to price your home accurately.

Next, discuss their marketing strategy. A good realtor should have a comprehensive plan that goes beyond just listing your home on the MLS. Ask them how they intend to market your property online and offline, including social media campaigns, open houses, and professional photography. The more detailed and innovative their strategy, the better your chances of attracting serious buyers quickly.

Communication is another critical factor. During your interview, gauge how responsive they are to your questions and concerns. Ask them about their preferred method of communication—whether it’s phone calls, emails, or text messages—and how often you can expect updates. A realtor who communicates clearly and consistently will keep

At Engel & Völkers, we believe that luxury is deeply personal Whether it’s waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning or living closer to loved ones, our real estate advisors have the local market expertise and a network of personal connections, along with the reach and prestige of a global brand to deliver an unmatched real estate experience

you informed throughout the selling process, reducing stress and uncertainty. Additionally, inquire about their network of professionals. A well-connected realtor will have a list of trusted contractors, inspectors, and mortgage brokers who can assist with various aspects of the sale. This network can be invaluable in smoothing out any bumps along the way. Lastly, trust your instincts. The rapport you build during your initial meet-

ing can be a good indicator of future interactions. Choose someone who listens to your needs and makes you feel comfortable.

By thoroughly interviewing potential realtors on these key points—experience, marketing strategy, communication style, professional network—you’ll be well on your way to finding a real estate advisor who can help you successfully navigate the selling process.

THE VENICE MUSEUM

YOUR HOME FOR ALL THINGS VENICE HISTORY

The Venice Museum is nestled in the western section of the Cultural Campus, across the street from the Monty Andrews Arboretum. Saved from the wrecking ball in 1991, the Triangle Inn was moved to its current location to house the City of Venice’s historical collection. After extensive rehabilitation work, the building reopened to the public in 1996 as the Venice Museum & Archives. Now just the Venice Museum, it is but one component of the larger Historical Resources Division operated by the City of Venice. With a small staff, cadre of dedicated volunteers, and support from Venice Heritage, Inc., it provides opportunities for you to learn a great deal about this small city with a big history.

The main exhibit is spot-on when it starts out telling you that “Venice History Starts Here.” From those initial steps into the gallery, you can learn about the Calusa and Tocobaga tribes who were the first inhabitants of the area. Continuing on, some of the first families you’ll probably recognize from many of the placenames in the area include Knight, Curry, Higel, and Blackburn. John Nolen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers are prominently displayed as they turned an early settler frontier into a modern city. The exhibits continue with the telling of the Kentucky Military Institute, Venice Army Air Base, and the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. They all at one time called Venice home.

Once through the main exhibit hall, the boarding house design of the building takes you down a hallway that at one time had rooms for rent, but now serves as various exhibit space. First, the historic front entrance informs you of the history of the Triangle Inn and how it went from a boarding house to a museum. Next, you will have the chance to discover the impact Dr. Fred Albee had on both Venice and the world. You can see his orthopedic table and hear what it was like to work for him.

Venice is known as the “Shark Tooth Capital of the World,” but the truth is that there are many more paleontological finds here. Starting with a woolly mammoth skeleton found in the 1920s up to today, you can learn about the animals that inhabited the area in prehistoric times. There were many!

And when you think you have learned it all, there is more in the gift shop to enhance your experience and continue your learning—or just be fashionable! With an amazing set of books and shark tooth jewelry, there is something for everyone.

THE VENICE AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Venice Area Historical Society (“VAHS”) was founded in 1991 as the Venice Historic Preservation League, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, to celebrate and preserve the history of Venice, Florida and its surrounding areas.

VAHS sponsors a wide variety of educational programs and initiatives focusing on local and state history, including two lecture series, the Venice Express quarterly newsletter, a historic Plaque Program, research into area history, an outreach to schools and other local organizations, a scholarship program, and tours of the Depot Campus.

The Depot Campus includes the Historic 1927 Venice Train Depot, and the former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus train car. VAHS raised funds to purchase, restore, and reconfigure the train car to create exhibits of circus history. These exhibits illustrate how the performers lived on the train car. In addition, they describe the innovations which took place in the circus between 1960 and 1992 when the circus wintered in Venice.

Education is central to our mission.  VAHS provides a variety of educational opportunities for members and the public. The Betty Intagliata Lecture Series is sponsored by VAHS, with permanent funding provided by the Bill Jervey, Jr. Charitable Foundation. The lecture series, featuring noted scholars and speakers, is free and open to the public. In addition, we offer the Speakers Bureau where knowledgeable VAHS members are available to provide a variety of presentations to community groups within the Venice area to educate, enlighten, and entertain.  Each presentation addresses an aspect of Venice area history.

Step back in time as you enter the former waiting rooms of the depot, peruse the exhibits, and learn about the history of the building from our knowledgeable docents.

VAHS relies on donations to continue its maintenance of the Depot Campus, its educational programs, and its preservation of Venice history. VAHS also relies on volunteers to fulfill its mission. People with a variety of backgrounds and talents are needed to support the diverse programming sponsored by the historical society.

MEET THE SIZZLING HOT BACON BRANDS RESTAURANTS

With a last name like Bacon, it’s no surprise that restauranteurs Micheal and Liz Bacon have built a thriving restaurant empire in Venice, Florida. Their establishments include BrewBurgers, Brew-Za-Bagels, BrewBurgers Back Porch, and Shuck-N-Ale. BrewBurgers, which opened their doors in 2010, has consistently been voted the best burger spot in Venice. Since serving its first burger, Bacon Brands has expanded significantly, offering a menu of neverfrozen, freshly ground, award-winning Angus chuck burgers, chicken wings, sandwiches, salads, and an impressive selection of cold beers, all crafted from fresh ingredients.

In July 2022, they launched BrewBurgers Back Porch, which quickly made a name for itself as a popular familyfriendly sports bar, boasting an elevated sports pub menu, a full liquor bar, plenty of TVs, and a welcoming atmosphere. “It’s all about creating an exciting and fun

place to satisfy your appetite with the best freshly ground Angus burgers around,” says Michael Bacon. “We are passionate about both food and our community, and we are always ready to lend a hand to those in need.” Recently, they provided meals for over 100 National Guardsmen and women who came to help our town after the two hurricanes. They also actively support Venice Schools and various nonprofit organizations, giving back to the community that supports them.

Planning a party or a special event?

Look no further than American Comfort, Bacon Brands’ catering company. They offer a diverse menu selection, from burgers to filet mignon and lobster, perfect for gatherings of all sizes, from 25 to 300+ guests.

For a taste of New York in sunny Florida, check out Brew-Za-Bagels, a bagel shop and pizzeria. Indulge in a hot or iced Black Gold coffee, a New Yorkstyle bagel from the Bronx, or a delicious breakfast sandwich loaded with fresh toppings. Their pizzas, available in 12” or 20”, are generously topped with the finest ingredients and packed with flavor.

In January 2022 the Bacons proudly opened their newest venture, ShuckN-Ale, a coastal seafood restaurant showcasing the freshest Gulf seafood. Their menu features an enticing raw bar with oysters and Gulf favorites, along with a daily happy hour, Bourbon Street-

inspired dishes like etouffee and gumbo, and Southern-style seafood boils served right in the pot. Whether you are a meat lover or a seafood aficionado, there’s something for everyone. On Sundays, enjoy brunch with bottomless mimosas and a Bloody Mary bar. “We treat every customer like family. Come hungry and leave happy,” says Michael Bacon. “We are proud to have you at our table.”

DOGGY D N NG

Many restaurants in our greater area welcome leashed dogs to dine with their owners al fresco. On Florida’s sunny Gulf Coast, there’s plenty of patio space. Before you and your four-legged family member head out to dine, call ahead to make sure they’re dog friendly. Remember, Venice gets lots

of sunshine, especially during the summer. Keep your pet cool by carrying bottled H2O and a travel water dish for your pup at all times. Notice pavement heat — if it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for Fido’s, too. Never leave a pet in a vehicle in Florida.

WINE

We are your best source for great value and hard to find wines from around the world. We boast one of the area’s largest selections of both Old World, and New World wines.

SPIRITS

We feature an astounding lineup of highly allocated bourbon, scotches, and whiskeys.

CRAFT BEER

Come on in and step into our beer cave! We have the largest variety of craft beer in Florida!

MEATS & CHEESES

We have a wide variety of meats, cheeses, and gourmet items from around the world that are sure to enhance your favorite wine, beer, or spirit.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

We know taking care of your health is of paramount importance, and the Venice area has the healthcare professionals and facilities to keep you in tip top shape.

But what really matters lies behind it.

And we’re not talking about the stainless steel, state-of-the-art surgical suites, equipped for both robotic and minimally invasive capabilities. Or the all private patient suites, designed for comfort and efficiency in providing the full array of hospital services. Or the 24/7 Emergency Care Center, or the Primary Stroke Center or the comprehensive labor, delivery and post-partum unit where every mother is a VIP.

We’re talking about the hundreds of physicians and nurses and healthcare professionals who devote their lives to delivering the best possible care to each of their patients. And who do it with compassion and courage, every day. Because what sets Sarasota Memorial Hospital – Venice apart, and what really matters when it comes to community healthcare, is the healthcare community itself.

SUN SAFETY & SKIN CANCER PREVENTION

Written by Blessy Mathew Jacob, MD

Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute Venice Area Chamber Member

PROTECTING YOUR SKIN WITH PROPER CLOTHING

Wearing protective clothes is also essential for sun protection. The degree of protection provided by clothes is defined by the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). The categories of UPF range from 15-24 as “good protection,” 25-39 as “very good protection,” and 40-50 for “excellent protection”. Loose-fitting, light-colored, longsleeve shirts and pants made from breathable fabrics (like cotton) are acceptable options when in the sun and wanting to stay cool but also protect the skin.

SPF UPF

Sunlight is essential to ensure we receive adequate vitamin D, and it has beneficial effects on our mood. Still, ultraviolet radiation (from the sun’s rays, also known as UV rays) can damage our skin and lead to skin cancer. According to the National Library of Medicine, the incidence of melanoma, the most fatal form of skin cancer, is increasing faster than most cancers in the U.S. – with a 320% jump in diagnoses between 1975 and 2018.

THE ABCS OF SKIN CANCER

Older adults, people who are fair-skinned or those with a lot of freckles and moles are generally at greater risk of skin cancer. While many skin cancers are highly treatable, if you notice anything suspicious on your skin, you should report it to your general practitioner.

Here is an easy way to recognize if a mole or other skin lesion may be cancerous – remember the ABCs of skin cancer: Asymmetry: one half of the mole doesn’t match the other

Border: is irregular

Color: is not uniform

Diameter: greater than 6 mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)

Evolving: size, shape or color changes

IMPORTANCE OF SUNSCREEN

Sunscreen contains “filters,” better known as a sun protection factor or SPF, that absorb or reflect the radiation in ultraviolet light. SPF in sunscreen measures its ability to protect against sunburn. While all individuals are subject to the dangers of UV radiation and will benefit from sunscreen use, those with fair or lighter skin are most susceptible to dangerous sun damage and should prioritize the regular application of sunscreen. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing sunscreen products with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreens must be applied liberally and repeatedly to sun-exposed areas to provide the most effective protection.

MEASURES EFFECTIVENESS OF SUNSCREENS

PROVIDES ONLY UVB PROTECTION (UNLESS STATED)

SPF 15 PROLONGS PROTECTION 15 TIMES THE TIME IT TAKES TO BURN

MEASURES EFFECTIVENESS OF SUN PROTECTIVE FABRICS

PROVIDES BOTH UVA & UVB PROTECTION

UPF OF 50 BLOCKS OUT 98% OF UV RAYS WHEN WORN

A CLOSER LOOK AT SUNGLASSES

Many people consider sunglasses a stylish accessory. They are, in fact, an important part of UV safety protection. UV rays can damage our eyes as well as skin and even contribute to cataracts. While the standard pair of sunnies is designed to block rays from entering the front of our eyes, sunlight enters from all areas. To help protect your eyes, invest in quality sunglasses with polarized lenses. These contain a special filter that blocks reflected light to cut harmful glare and haze.

So, before you head out, remember this simple formula: Slip, Slop, Slap & Wrap -- Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat and wrap on a quality pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes!

Holistic Wellness:

The Connection between Mind, Body, and Spirit

Written by Heather Dempsey Founder/Owner, The Self-Care Center Venice Area Chamber Member

In the pursuit of wellness, it’s increasingly recognized that true health encompasses more than just physical well-being. Holistic wellness embraces the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, advocating for a balanced approach to health that addresses all aspects of an individual. By integrating multiple modalities, holistic wellness aims to restore balance and harmony across all dimensions of the self.

REIKI:

BALANCING THE ENERGY FIELD

Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that focuses on channeling universal life force energy to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and facilitate healing. This gentle, non-invasive therapy supports both physical and emotional healing, aligning the mind, body, and spirit with a profound sense of peace and balance.

CRYSTAL HEALING:

HARNESSING NATURAL ENERGIES

Crystal healing leverages the unique vibrational frequencies of gemstones to promote healing and balance. Each crystal has its own distinct energy, and when used in a healing session, these stones can help realign the body’s energy field.

SOUND THERAPY:

RESONATING WITH HARMONY

Sound therapy involves using sound waves, such as those produced by singing bowls, tuning forks, and gongs, to promote healing and relaxation. The vibrations from these instruments can help to clear energetic blockages, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity.

EMOTIONAL COACHING:

NAVIGATING INNER LANDSCAPES

Emotional coaching provides support for individuals seeking to understand and manage their emotions more effectively. Through compassionate dialogue and guidance, emotional coaches help clients explore their emotional patterns, set goals, and develop coping strategies.

SPA SERVICES:

REJUVENATING THE BODY

Spa services, such as massages and facials, contribute to physical relaxation and rejuvenation. These treatments help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote overall physical well-being.

THE PATH TO BALANCED WELLNESS

Holistic wellness is a journey that recognizes the intricate connections between mind, body, and spirit. By integrating practices like Reiki, crystal healing, sound therapy, emotional coaching, and spa treatments, individuals can achieve a deeper level of balance and harmony. Embracing this comprehensive approach to wellness not only supports the alleviation of physical symptoms but also promotes emotional resilience and spiritual growth.

EDUCATION

Sarasota County schools are known to be some of the best public schools in Florida.

More than 43,000 students attend 40 schools, including special schools, such as Pine View for gifted students, which is rated 15th in the U.S.; Oak Park, which provides educational and therapeutic services to students with disabilities; Booker High School, a magnet school in performing arts; and Suncoast Polytechnical High

School, to name a few. Added to that are nine charter schools with various emphasis. There are also several private schools in the county.

In Venice, there are four elementary schools: Garden, Laurel-Nokomis, Taylor and Venice, serving grades kindergarten through 5. Two middle schools, Laurel and Venice, serve grades 6-8. Venice High School serves grades 9-12. Charter schools include Student Leadership Academy and Sky Academy,

both for grades 6-8, and Island Village Montessori for grades K-11. Private schools are Epiphany, grades K-8, and Venice Christian School, grades K-12.

COLLEGE, CAREER, & LIFE READINESS IN SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOLS

In today’s fast-paced world, high school graduates must be equipped with more than just academic knowledge to succeed. Sarasota County Schools understands this and has embraced a forward-thinking approach known as College, Career, and Life Readiness (CCLR). We want all students to leave high school with an informed awareness of career options, post-secondaryeducation resources, at least one workbased learning experience, and a personalized plan for their future.

COLLEGE READINESS: MORE THAN ACADEMICS

All Sarasota County high schools offer extensive support in navigating the college admissions process. Our high schools have Career Centers, staffed with Career Advisors available to assist students in researching colleges, applying for scholarships, and understanding financial aid. Through college fairs and partnerships with local institutions, the district also ensures that all students, regardless of background, have access to the resources necessary to pursue higher education.

CAREER READINESS: PREPARING FOR A CHANGING WORKFORCE

While college is a path many students take, others choose to enter the military or work force immediately after high school. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs allow students to explore in-demand indus tries like healthcare, hospitality, computer science, engineering, and construction. CTE programs are designed in collaboration with regional employment needs to ensure stu dents are gaining skills and earning industry credentials sought after in today’s job mar ket. Work-based learning activities, such as

All students in grades 6-12 create a personalized college and career planning profile in SchooLinks, our customized online platform.

ENRICHMENT

in meaningful interactions, and explore their creativity through purposeful play. Our classrooms foster curiosity, imagination, and a lifelong love of learning.

In addition to educational support, we are committed to supporting the overall health and well-being of every child in our care. Each child receives nutritious meals, including breakfast, lunch, and a snack daily, contributing to their development and readiness to learn. Comprehensive health screenings, including vision, hearing, and dental checks, ensure that any obstacles to learning are identified and addressed early.

Children with special needs are supported through on-site occupational, physical, and speech therapies, along with classroom assistance from dedicated Mental Health Specialists who provide emotional and behavioral support to both children and their caregivers. We believe that a child’s success begins with a healthy and supportive environment, both at school and at home.

Family well-being is a cornerstone of our work. Our Family Advocates partner with each family to set and achieve financial, educational, and occupational goals, helping them move toward self-sufficiency. Through our award-winning Families First Institute, parents can participate in courses designed to enhance their parenting skills, personal growth, career readiness, and financial literacy.

These courses have helped 191 parents and caregivers strengthen their families during the 2023-2024 school year.

With the support of our community and partners like the Venice Chamber, we can continue to make a significant impact. In the past school year, over 120,000 nutritious meals were served to children, and 94% of our Kindergarten-risers met or exceeded school readiness goals.

We are deeply grateful for the continued support that allows us to provide what every child and family deserves - the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

As the Venice Chamber celebrates its 100th anniversary, we look forward to continuing this journey together—shaping a brighter future for children and families in our community.
