Heidi Woodworth, a good and faithful servant, brought her best to PAA every day for eight years. And while her presence is missed on our campus this year, we are cheering as she embarks on a journey to a bright future!

Heidi’s new path takes her to Hood View Junior Academy to lead their music program while she continues pursuing a music education degree. If that sounds like a lot, you are right. But if anyone can do it, Heidi can!

Around PAA, Heidi was known as a loyal, hard-working servant, and encouraging friend.

In all she does, Heidi leads with a servant heart.

From her delicious meals in our cafeteria to her faithful leadership on many years of Fiji mission trips, there wasn’t a project (small or large) that Heidi didn’t put her whole heart into. Heidi’s skills in event planning and fundraising boosted PAA’s scholarship funds as well as donations to special teacher and classroom projects, the Junior scholarships, and more.

We celebrate Heidi’s new journey and we know God is leading!

Her events, like our annual Service Day, the PAASS Auction, Alumni Weekend, Women’s Tea Party, and class fundraisers, were well organized, well attended, and well supported. For many years, Heidi also served as accompanist for choir and played an important leadership role on music tours. She daily modeled our Christ-centered, character-driven motto and led with a transparent heart.

We celebrate Heidi, we cheer for her success, and we pray for her as God guides her future. We know HVJA will benefit from Heidi’s gifts in both music and care for students. God will bless!
