Pioneer Valley Academy

Pioneer Valley Academy, located in New Braintree Massachusetts, opened its doors in September 1965 as a coed boarding school operated by the Southern New England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. It educated hundreds of 9–12 students before its closing in June 1983.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pvaalumni.org/our_story/index.htm )
==History==

The Conference endeavored to locate the academy in harmony with the counsel given by the Spirit of Prophecy of Ellen G. White. "It is a rural area away from the contaminating and deleterious influences of the city" stated Merle L. Mills, Southern New England Conference President.
The first phase of construction provided facilities for approximately 236 students at a cost of $3,000,000 in 1963 ($23,195,980 when adjusted for 2015 inflation).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=3%2C000%2C000&year1=1963&year2=2013 )〕 Provisions were also made to expand the facilities for up to 350 students. In the photo shown, one can see the school's former boys' and girls' dormitories with the cafeteria in between and the water tower to the right of the boys' dormitory.
In late 1964, after just completing a $50,000 booster offering, the Southern New England Conference announced a "Million Penny Drive". Due to heavy expenditures that were not included in the original school construction budget and the decision to open the academy a year earlier than planned, an emergency round of fundraising was required. With hopes of raising $10,000, churches were encouraged to build "ingenious devices in which to gather your pennies". Unfortunately this fundraiser was done during a period when the U.S. Mint was experiencing a nationwide coin shortage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://everything2.com/title/The+great+coin+shortage+of+the+%252760s )
With the opening of Pioneer Valley Academy in 1965, South Lancaster Academy was no longer used as the boarding school for the Southern New England Conference.
