Eyewitness News spoke the principal of Groves Elementary School. Dr. Brian Peters told ABC13 that Woodeshick will be dearly missed on campus.
She worked every day to inspire her students.
"If God created a teacher, He created Amy," said Peters. "I think what we're grasping right now is take each day. Take advantage of each day. Love and care for each other. That is what she was about."
