![]() Students at Cedar park Elementary School signed a memorial wall to remember Ms. Shoemaker was taught P.E. class at the school for 12 years. |
Shoemaker, 44, died Thursday at St. Bernards Medical Center from injuries sustained after she was struck by a truck while jogging Sunday on Highland Drive in Jonesboro.
Principal Cynthia Wright said Shoemaker was a great colleague, friend and teacher who will be deeply missed.
"And I think you can see by what the children have done that there is a lot of love for Ms. Shoemaker," Wright said.
Shoemaker taught P.E. at Cedar Park Elementary for 12 years.
Students set up a memorial signature wall and decorated the halls and windows of the school with cards and pictures to show their love and support of the family.
Wright said the students are handling Shoemaker's death very well.
"As we went through and read some of the things that they wrote, they talked about what they loved most about PE class," Wright said. "And it was because of what Ms. Shoemaker did. She always used to tell the students what part of the body each exercise and game was working."
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Langford-Bookout Funeral Home.
