Wilkerson was the physical education teacher at Springdale Elementary School. She died of brain cancer in February of 2012. She taught P.E. For 25 years.
Wilkerson was known as a friend to everyone, who touched many lives and was always working to enhance the physical fitness and health of her students. Wilkerson also wanted to build a fitness zone at Springdale Elementary.
The 5K in Wilkerson’s memory begins at 8 a.m. at Springdale Elementary School. It starts at Springdale Baptist Church.
Proceeds go to “Cindy’s Place Healthy Fitness Zone.” That consists of outdoor learning centers, fitness equipment and eventually an outdoor amphitheater. The Fitness Zone is on the grounds of Springdale Elementary.
