Our next #LauderdaleProud feature is Abby McBroom!
Abby McBroom is a 2006 graduate of Ripley High School. She continued her education at Union University, where she graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Abby graduated in the top 10 of her nursing class and was selected to Sigma Theta Tau, an international honor society for the field of nursing.
Abby currently works at Sedgwick as a Complex Pharmacy Management Nurse. When asked about her favorite part of her career, Abby said:
“We all know someone who has been touched by the opioid crisis that our country faces. My job allows me to advocate for my patients and help them ensure that the medications they are prescribed are the safest for their injury. I love being able to provide patient safety through education and advocacy. Most of all, I love being able to care for others and to make a difference.”
Abby is another reason we are #LauderdaleProud!

LCS families,
The remainder of this school week will bring high heat indices to our area. All schools will exercise caution in allowing outdoor recreational activities.
After school athletic activities will be closely monitored according to TSSAA guidelines for excessive heat. Heat indices will also be monitored for Friday night’s football games. Please be prepared for the potential of delayed game start times.
Our afternoon bus riders, especially those who ride longer routes, will have access to bottled water on each bus Thursday and Friday afternoons to provide relief from the heat. Buses will have windows lowered to allow extra airflow to move throughout.
