years and a Unitarian for 26 years. Mary started teaching About Your Sexuality in 1988

aspects of sexuality while bringing attention to the negative aspects.

SHERRY KIRCUS
Sherry fell in love with "About Your Sexuality," the ground-breaking Unitarian
Universalist precursor to OWL, when AYS was new. Some years later she was trained
to teach AYS. Since OWL has become available, she has been trained to teach OWL at
all age/grade levels and has helped teach OWL 7-9 at All Souls in Shreveport and OWL

Most recently, she has been trained as a trainer for the OWL K-1/4-6 curriculum. Sherry
has recently retired from her RN job at the VA Medical Center in Shreveport, LA,

that children and youth are entitled to honest sexuality education and is very proud that
