My name is Brenda DiEugenio.  I am a Christian, wife, mother, and teacher.  I served as a public school teacher for 10 years teaching middle school emotional support, middle school learning support, and secondary level ESY in brick and mortar school districts.  Later, I had the privilege of teaching for a public charter school teaching special education in grades k-6 and lastly general education kindergarten.  I retired from public school teaching to homeschool my own children where I then had the opportunity to teach in a hybrid homeschool model and also volunteer with our favorite homeschool co-op, Love First Homeschool Inc.  Here, I have served both as a founding board member along with the leadership team finding great fulfillment in providing opportunities to other homeschool families by setting up outings, college visits, and even dual enrollment partnerships with accredited post-secondary institutions.  I have been supporting and evaluating for Pennsylvania homeschoolers for 9 years now.  That said, I have experienced no greater joy, calling, or fulfillment than teaching my own children how to read, pursue learning and independence, and to love Jesus.

My husband, Mark, is a self-employed contractor.  I am grateful for the choice and sacrifice he makes to be a one-income family which gives me the gift of being home with our children.  We have been married since 2004 and are  slowly preparing for our children to soon be on their own.  We are excited for what the future holds!

Raymond is a 2025 PA homeschool graduate.  He pursues academic challenges, as he graduated high school with 30 college credits.  He is the recipient of a notable scholarship, which will completely fund his bachelor's degree.  He is attending a public university, dual majoring in Economics and Finance with a minor in Accounting. He enjoys baseball, fishing with friends, and archery with his dad.  He is a true leader.

Rae'na is a homeschooler in her junior year of high school.  She volunteers regularly at our homeschool co-op and also volunteers weekly at a local hospital. Additionally, she works at a Christian youth camp where she serves as a junior counselor.  She loves playing volleyball with her homeschool volleyball group.  Academically, Rae'na demands much from herself as she has already completed 12 college credits.  Rae'na is still deciding her post-secondary plans, leans towards the medical field, but does know she loves serving others.  She leads with Grace and is a nurturer.
