chool spirit got a boost at the start of the fall and winter season this year with pep rallies added to the list of Tallulah Falls School favorite traditions. “I wanted to bring something memorable to our student body,” said Upper School Academic Dean and Varsity Cheer Coach Kim Popham. “Because of COVID restrictions, it has been some time since we’ve been able to gather in large assemblies. Our students had a blast making noise and sharing their enthusiasm with their classmates. With 65% of the student population participating in sports, student-athletes outnumbered those remaining in the stands, she added. Sports recognized thus far this year include volleyball, cross country, swim, basketball, Esports, bass fishing and cheerleading.
“We had a great season with a good combination of veteran cheerleaders and those new to the varsity squad. They worked well together to learn new dances and cheer routines. They were able to provide two exciting pep rallies for sports of all seasons. We will miss our two seniors next year as we look forward to another exciting year.”
