Hi families!  I am Laura Ames,  a fourth grade teacher here at Nottingham School, and this is my 30th year of teaching. And I am thrilled and excited to be part of the Nottingham staff and family. 

I was born and grew up in Oxford. I attended school here from 1st grade to graduating from OAHS in 1984.  I am the youngest of three children in my family and was fortunate to have grown up on a dairy farm here as well.  I am proud to have a son, who is a sophomore at Cecil College in Maryland and a cat that I just adore named Misty. I got married last Spring to a wonderful man and we are thrilled to live here in Oxford.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy tending to my yard and flower beds, cooking and traveling with my family and friends.
