Weekly Parent Update

April 18, 2025

Dear WAC Parents,

As I write this message, I can hear the wind rustling outside my window—a familiar sound this time of year! These spring winds remind me that change is in the air, bringing renewal, energy, and fresh growth. It’s a natural season of transformation—and the perfect time for students to reflect, refocus, and take purposeful steps forward.

Leadership is a thread that runs through everything we do at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado (WAC). It’s often about making meaningful choices, especially when things feel unpredictable or challenging. Just as the wind slowly shapes the landscape, consistent acts of effort, commitment, and kindness shape our students into confident, principled leaders.

Thank you for all you do to support your student’s growth this season. Let’s continue to lead together—with clarity, courage, and steady momentum.

Warmly,

Heidi Mitchell

Executive Director, Williamsburg Academy of Colorado
