Save the Fine Arts of PVHS

Adam Bearden is a valuable asset that Pinson Valley should consider themselves lucky to have.

The fine arts program is a way for students to be themselves and lots of these children depend on these classes to receive financial aid in college and maybe even make majors out of this!!

Fine arts are absolutely vital to education.

Students should have a choice on the teachers who stay and go. Let's keep these teachers in a school where they are obviously loved and needed.

Save Beardon

Please reconsider the firings of the 3 fine arts teachers. The students love these teachers and they are provided a safe place to learn and grow. Will you take another look and keep these teachers. Bob Lopez

Brandon has done a wonderful job he really deserves better than this

Nice job PVHS, fired our two best teachers in the entire jefferson county. Triola and Bearden are not just some teachers. They are our family.

i don't see why this teacher got fired if you ask me pippin was a was a hit and fools and hairspray was outstanding they say the teachers that was fired didnt meet there school standards but the theatre and the band department has brought the most money to this school before triola came the drama department was crap but now the department is growing .

Bearden is a fine band director and has my utmost respect. I appreciate the time he spends helping improve my child's development.

I have friends who go to this school, and I am in the band at my school. This is outrageous and too far

http://www.nasaa-arts.org/Publications/critical-evidence.pdf Critical Evidence: How the Arts Benefit Student Achievement describes in nontechnical terms what the research says about how study of the arts contributes to academic achievement and student success.

why fire the good news? Teacher of the year candidate.. really?

I was raised in Pinson, and just bought a house there myself, to raise my 4 children. They will all be going through the Pinson system. This is an absolute tragedy, and clearly a politically motivated boondoggle. These teachers were clearly loved, and were doing exactly the things we need our teachers to do. Get rid of the principal, keep the teachers and arts programs.

While not a Pinson resident, I am an avid arts supporter. These students in Pinson deserve an arts education.

Amazing teachers devoted to the arts! Thank you!

Brandon is a former student of mine, and I am disgusted by this blatantly political move. How pathetic.

As a person who has known Brandon Triola since high school I can say with complete confidence that I only hope that my daughter someday has a teacher in her life who rises above their role out of genuine love for their position as Brandon has for his. He has been a mentor, a confidante, and an inspiration to every student fortunate enough to encounter him.
