West Lauderdale High School's Decompression Room

Teachers all play an important role and a retired teacher showed her appreciation to teachers in the form of craftmanship.

A few months back West Lauderdale High School Teachers received a decompression room to take a mental health break and today a retired teacher from Neshoba showed her appreciation to teachers and gifted the school with a handmade Kleenex cover for the teacher’s decompression room.

“The decompression room is located in the high school library, and it is for teachers who need to take a break, a mental health break and we keep it to where the light is off and just the lamp is on so that they can have a small amount of time to get composure or just deal with the pressures of each day,” said Library Specialist Kristy Wooldrig.

Giles created Kleenex covers for every Lauderdale County school and says no cover is the same.

“Everyone has a little bit different picture. But i tried to think of the teachers that were going to see this and how that would probably calm their minds and ease their tensions. And I wanted to do that for our teachers,” stated Nancy Giles.

Shane Rodgers, Principal of West Lauderdale High School was thankful that Mrs. Giles still has an appreciation for teachers.

“We appreciate Mrs. Giles taking time to do this for all of our schools in Lauderdale County I know it took a lot of time and effort to do this and we greatly appreciate the uniqueness of each one and that each school will have, and I think it says a lot about teachers and the profession.”
