The first and only person I've ever known whose name was Magda... my 5th grade teacher at E.H. Johnson School circa 1966 who taught me the art of "tinpunch" and "copper art". Still think of you when I look at that house on Sea St. My sympathies to her son, Paul, who we heard about every day. A Former Student

I had Mrs Fiorini in the 5th grade and the memories and lessons she taught are still vivid. She had a profound impact on our lives. I wish I understood then how dedicated she was-and most teachers are. I will pray for her soul and family.
