    Miss McGinn was my Fifth Grade teacher at Samuel Brown School. I uploaded my Fifth Grade class photo which includes Marvelous Miss McGinn on the left and me in the lower right of the picture. I also uploaded the back of my report card signed by Miss McGinn. I fondly remember her as a wonderful & inspiring teacher. She gave me a Grade A or Grade B in all my courses, including math. I went on to become a published mathematician in 2016. Thank you Miss McGinn!!

    Marie was an honored member of the Brown School family. She was an intelligent soul who never wanted to draw attention to herself. I will never forget the kind and thoughtful words of wisdom that she gave me on the day she retired. May she rest in peace. Ernie Osborne Former Principal

    My family had the honor of meeting up with Miss McGinn once again while our dad lived at Brightview. She was our teacher at the Brown School and we were able to share many memories and stories with her. She was such a sweet soul. The Schetrompf Family
