KITCHEN TEAM
Our Kitchen Staff bring warmth and care to every meal at Landmark East School. They prepare three nourishing meals a day for our boarding students, as well as lunch for all students and staff, featuring a hot option, salad bar, and homemade soups. Beyond meals, they create delicious homemade snacks—cookies, pies, and other treats—that add a special touch to daily life. Every dish is made with love, helping our students feel nourished, cared for, and at home.
Bridget Brawn
Cook
Bridget Brawn started whipping up great meals for Landmark East School in 2017. Bridget has served as Landmark East School’s dorm parent for four years. Bridget loves her job and enjoys seeing the students grow, learn, and make friends - often for the first time. She sees their confidence grow each year and this makes all the difference. Bridget loves her grandchildren - watching them grow warms her heart.
Laura Brown first graced the kitchen at Landmark East School in 1986. Laura arrives in the morning at 5:30 am to prepare the first meal of the day for our boarding students. From there, she helps make lunch for nearly 100 people, and finishes with the last meal of the day. Laura’s greatest joy, aside from cooking, is her grandchild.

Tammy Mitchell
Head Cook
Tammy Mitchell’s connection to Landmark East School began in 1979, working after school and on weekends alongside her mother, who was the Head Cook at the time. Except for two years away, Tammy has called Landmark East School home for 45 years. As our Head Cook, she loves seeing the excitement on students’ faces when she makes their favourite meals and snacks—especially when they share recipes from their own homes for her to recreate. When she isn’t cooking for our school community, Tammy enjoys time with her family, quilting, knitting, puzzles, and walks with her dogs.
