Saturday night at Fairview High School, an era will end.
More than 400 former students are expected to turn out to sing in a farewell concert for retiring Fairview choir teachers Ron Revier and Jim Keller.
These guys are phenominal teachers who have inspired a lot of students. And of course, the BVSD administration can't have that...
Keller, Revier and Fairview's long-time jazz band instructor Steve Christopher are among about 100 technically retired Boulder Valley teachers who have continued working on a part-time basis but will be forced to leave after this year.
"On the first day of school, the district said, 'If you're retired and working part-time, this is your last year,' " Keller said.
But hey, it's not like forcing out quality teachers matters...
Bell, who graduated from Fairview in 1984, said Keller and Revier literally changed her life. She said she came to the school as part of a bad crowd and found a strong community that inspired her life profession. She went on to the conservatory of music at the University of Missouri and now is a professional singer.
