 Mt. Calvary Preschool students were
entertained by professional actors and stunt men who are in the area filming
episodes for Hidden Histories which is a travel adventure
show. The historical documentary program began in September 2007
and is produced for European distribution by Global Broadcast Network of
London, England. Jody Stelzig, son of Charlene Stelzig of La Grange,
along with Duke Nobles and Lynn Dale Salisbury, all three of Oklahoma,
demonstrated to the students different types of stunts that they perform and
talked to the students about making movies. The students and teachers
learned how different stunts were performed and the training and expertise
needed for these performances.
