Laurie Warford

Meet Laurie

Being part of the moment when I watch a student apply a skill they have spent time practicing is beyond rewarding – what really makes me thrive is seeing how proud it makes them feel. I absolutely love being part of the journey each of my students takes at Foundations for Learning.

I have a Bachelor of Arts with a major in English from Dalhousie University. I have been an avid volunteer within the Nova Family of Schools at the Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education for several years. I have also had the opportunity to be a part of the Winding River Consolidated School community; including working as a student supervisor, and actively volunteering within the school library as well as within the classrooms whenever an opportunity presented itself.

When asked to describe myself; caring, compassionate and empathetic come to mind. I love to learn, and I love to share what I have learned over the years with others. I especially enjoy helping children along their educational paths – I have always known that working with children was ultimately what I was destined to do.

I am a dedicated mother to 2 wonderful children and a wife to a loving husband; my family is by far one of my proudest accomplishments. We share a passion for animal advocacy and have fostered many different animals over the years. As a family, we run a small hobby farm.

“If you can’t see the magic, be the magic!” This is the motto that I live by. When you are able to spark the idea of “magic” within a child, it’s as if it sparks the will to learn and creates a whole new form of inspiration and motivation to reach their goals.

Dragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliot 
When Jaxon is sent to spend the day with a mean old lady his mother calls Ma, he finds out she's not his grandmother--but she is a witch! She needs his help delivering baby dragons to a magical world where they'll be safe. There are two rules when it comes to the dragons: don't let them out of the bag, and don't feed them anything sweet. Before he knows it, Jax and his friends Vikram and Kavita have broken both rules! Will Jax get the baby dragons delivered safe and sound? Or will they be lost in Brooklyn forever?
