Pandemic ‘hero’ dies suddenly

BRADFORD—The Oct. 27 Oxbow Unified Union School District meeting opened with a moment of silence for Corinna Magalhaes who died unexpectedly on Oct. 20.
She was the Bradford Elementary School food service director. As students transitioned to remote learning during the first weeks of the pandemic, Magalhaes invested many, many hours and gave up family time to design and coordinate a lunch program that provided some 750 meals every day to recipients in Bradford, Newbury, and Thetford.
In May 2020, colleagues hailed her as a School Lunch Hero for her tireless efforts.
