Recently, students at Calhoun Elementary School were captivated as guest speaker, Terry Allee, brought history to life, embodying the character impressions of both William T. Sherman and Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia. With attention to detail, Mr. Alee painted a vivid picture of Sherman's strategies and commanding presence on the battlefield. The next day, Mr. Allee portrayed himself as Aslan, the wise and compassionate lion, from the novel. Through engaging storytelling and interactive dialogue, the speaker left a lasting impression on the students, sparking discussions about leadership, courage, and the complexities of characters. It was an enriching experience for all!
