Autumn Semi-Formal

Amagical night of mixing and mingling delighted upper school students on Nov. 6.

A chance to dress up and gather with friends marked the occasion of the Autumn Semi-Formal, held for the first time in the Tallulah Falls School natatorium.

JB Jams from Gainesville served as a deejay, playing popular music and taking requests from the enthusiastic dancers.

Students posed for photos with a special lighting set-up, snacked and danced with friends.

Both boarding and day students came together for the event. This relatively new TFS tradition provides a break for students in the middle of the busy fall semester, according to Dean of Students Jimmy Franklin.

“It was a great chance for students to celebrate being together on campus for a night of fun,” Franklin said.

The Class of 2022 planned the event and decorated the natatorium, Franklin said.

Parents provided some of the snacks, including a chocolate fountain and Whitney Calloway’s culinary arts students prepared special sandwiches for the event.

“For the freshmen, it was a first-time school dance,” Franklin added. “So, they were super-excited!”
