Nancy Acevedo
My name is Nancy Acevedo I have a huge passion for teaching. I used to volunteer at my local church as a catechism teacher while I was in high school. I taught kinder garden for two years and grade three for one year. This experience helped me decide what my passion was. I wanted to be a teacher! I am currently attending Red Deer College in the Education program. I am majoring in English and minoring in Drama this is my second year in my program. I enjoy all my experiences so far and can’t wait to graduate from my program and begin to teach in schools.  Katharine McKee
