Presenters

Sunny Raybern

Community & Social Media Manager

Sunny has loved books for as long as she can remember. Her own parents discovered Sonlight at a convention and knew the literature and history focus would be perfect for her. She never planned to homeschool her own children past pre-k, but when her daughter learned to read, she was hooked. She has educated both of her children entirely with Sonlight. In her spare time, Sunny enjoys reading (of course), musicals, hiking, and being in or near water.

Johna Lawrence

Marketing & Product Development Coordinator

Johna is a mom, a Marmee, a Homeschool Administrator, and in her spare Mission Board Treasurer. After 23 years of teaching her children and being involved in Homeschool Co-Ops as a teacher and in leadership, she has found her biggest passion outside of her family is helping families find the joy of homeschooling, approaching it without fear, and loving the moments as they present themselves. Johna has used Sonlight since their first curriculum purchase in 1999. With four different learning styles with four children, it has been the perfect fit for their family. Her favorite verse for approaching life comes from 2 Timothy 1:7.
“ for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

Amber Severance

Homeschool Mom, Sonlight Curriculum Consultant & Mentor

Before becoming a wife and mom, Amber Severance was a high school teacher and coach at a private school in San Jose, CA. She has been homeschooling since 2002 when her oldest child began pre-k with Sonlight. Amber has five children – one attending graduate school, two in college, one in high school, and one in 6th grade. Because of her husband's graduate schooling and employment, she has had the opportunity to homeschool in four different states. Currently living in Lynchburg, VA, Amber is a full-time homemaker who enjoys encouraging others by serving in children's ministry, mentoring college girls, and leading a ladies' bible study.

Ann Kuebler

Homeschool Mom & Sonlight Mentor

Ann Kuebler is a homeschool mother of two and has used Sonlight curriculum since 2007. Her son is currently a sophomore in college, and her daughter is a senior in high school. A former high school biology teacher, Ann enjoys teaching science labs in their local homeschool co-op where she also serves on the leadership team. Enjoying the flexible schedule that homeschooling provides, Ann has enjoyed serving as a volunteer in several capacities in her community, including serving as regent in her DAR chapter, being a docent at a local state historic site, and volunteering as communication coordinator for her homeschool athletics association.

Christie Cook

Homeschool Mom, Sonlight Consultant & Mentor

Christie first encountered Sonlight Curriculum in 1997 when she was teaching the children of another family overseas. As a former classroom teacher, she was so impressed with the curriculum that in 2009 she made it her choice for educating her four sons. She and her husband have been married for twenty-two years and have been homeschooling with Sonlight for the past 14. They have utilized Sonlight programs from preschool to high school. Through the years they have enjoyed watching each of their boys develop a variety of interests and strengths based on their unique personalities and their learning with Sonlight. This year they will have a middle schooler, two high schoolers, and a college student. Their second oldest will graduate this spring! Christie enjoys meeting and encouraging homeschooling families and helping them find solutions for the homeschool journey!

Jennifer Price

Homeschool Mom, Sonlight Consultant & Mentor

Jen Moskal Price majored in English at the University of Delaware, so spending a lifetime reading to her children was an appealing idea. She discovered Sonlight early in her homeschool journey, and has used it every year since 2003 with all four of her children. Her oldest graduated from home, and some of the others have gone to public high school. Jen has worked in the Sonlight booth at various conventions for a decade – talking to moms about how to handle more than one HBL at a time, how to balance work and homeschooling, homeschooling as a single mom, and parenting athletes and artists. In her free time, she enjoys driving her kids to their sporting events and trying to convince her husband that he wants a dog.

Lisa Fountain

Homeschoool Veteran & Sonlight Mentor

Lisa is the mom of three wonderful children, two of whom are married. Her youngest is a freshman in college this year. Lisa’s oldest went to public school from the beginning and she homeschooled the younger two with Sonlight. Lisa has used every level from B-400. When she is not homeschooling she enjoys running, going to the beach, reading and sewing.

Sheila DelCharco

Homeschool Veteran & Sonlight Mentor

With a degree in secondary English education, Sonlight was an obvious choice when Sheila DelCharco decided to homeschool her three children. When her oldest asked to go to a small Christian high school, Sheila was concerned about how he would transition to the classroom environment. Her fears were laid to rest when she saw his first report card, and even more so when she sat in on a class. He graduated high school with honors and has graduated from the University of Florida in Finance. Her other two children homeschooled through high school and were accepted to the honor's program at the University of North Florida. Sheila is convinced that exposing them to all those books over the years is what led them to this point. Because of her passion for literature-based learning, she is a veteran Sonlight consultant, drawn on her own experience when speaking with families at homeschool conventions for the past 18+ years.
