Homeschool was a desire of Sunday Heppner (below) early on, as she enjoyed learning from her mother.  She's had an interesting entertainment background and that creativity has helped her as a teacher for over thirty years. 

She grew up in the state of Washington on a humble family farm.  Each day before school,  you'd find her working in the field with other members of her family.  It was extremely hard work.  That's when she decided to better herself someday by attending college.  The farm life was not where she wanted to be.

At the young age of five, she loved singing and dancing.  When Sunday was thirteen, her mother gave her a lot of support and would wait outside in the car while Sunday sang with a teenage band till after midnight to take her home. By the time she was sixteen, she was recording records for a subsidiary of Capitol Records and performed on Dick Clark's American Bandstand (right). Sunday sang a song written by Mike Curb entitled, "You Won't Even Know Her Name".

George Sherlock, then the promotion man for the Rolling Stones who made their record "Satisfaction"a hit in the United States.  Sherlock later became her manager.   In San Diego, she was in the warm up band before the Rolling Stones performed (left).

It was Sherlock that suggested someday she should seriously think about becoming a teacher if she didn't make it as a singer. He was a rather insightful individual.

Sunday made her way to Orange County and attended California State University Long Beach, graduated as a Music Major, then went on to receive her teaching credential.

The last two years, Sunday Heppner has been in the "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" 2005 -2006 and 2006 - 2007. Her students love the way she teaches and it really shows come test time.
