Tallulah Falls School

In the midst of a year when everything seems off, it’s nice to celebrate the season with traditions that remain constant. One of those traditions is the annual ornament presented by long-time math teacher Linda Harris to faculty and staff. With the gift, she commemorates the year and her joy at being a part of the learning community. The sense of family among Tallulah Falls School faculty and staff is strong, Harris said.... She started the tradition in 1994, purchasing ornaments from a Christmas bazaar in Toccoa. Back then, Harris said, there were 56 employees. This year, she made 14 dozen ornaments to distribute across all school departments. The warm fuzzy I get from so many people is addictive, Harris said. Several people have shown me pictures of a TFS Christmas tree with the years of ornaments on it so many memories. Assistant Head of School David Chester, displays the ornaments on a tree in his office. Each year I look forward to receiving the Christmas ornament from Mrs. Harris. I have hung them on trees in the dorms, the middle school, my house and now in the Willet Building, Chester said. It is a tradition that many faculty and staff members have been able to be a part of over the years. Thank you, Mrs. Harris! #TFSWearetheLight See more
