Academy Alumni Updates Congratulations Devra Moore ‘06
Zach Flower ‘06
‘06–‘08
I graduated from Rundle Academy twelve years ago and since then I graduated from Mount Royal University in early learning and child care. After graduating, I worked as a preschool/ kindergarten teacher for 9 years. During this time, I opened my own Yoga business where I teach kids and families the basics of yoga.
Sexual Assault Support Centre asked me to head up their grades 5–8 program called, “No Secrets Part 2.” We call ourselves educators and go into schools all around central Alberta. We talk to children from K–12 about our program. We talk about what a safe and unsafe touch is. It’s powerful and we need to get the word out to the world and teach these kids that they have the power to say “No!” We give them tools and prepare them that if something does happen, what to do, and how to get help.
Last June, I decided that I needed to make a difference in the lives of other children who needed me more. I loved what I was doing With this new position, I have definitely before, and because of it, this heard some scary things that one should new career path was presented never have to hear from a child. I have to me.
