I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education from West Chester University, a Master of Music in Music Education from Temple University, a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in School Administration and Master of Education from Edinboro University. I have also taken classes at University of the Arts, Saint Joseph's University, Eastern University and the Institute of British Cultural Studies in Oxford.
Mrs. Bugosh has two dogs - Luna, a Labradoodle (who is a certified therapy dog) and Roger, a yellow lab.

Mrs. DiRenzo
I've been playing since I was in 4th grade and can't wait to introduce you all to the wonderful world of band!
My main instrument is trumpet! I earned my Bachelor's degree from West Chester University for Music Education and my Master's degree from Cabrini University for Education. I've been teaching for over 10 years!!! I LOVE all Philly sports, but my favorites to watch are the Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies!! I live in Methacton School District!
I have quite the musical family. My husband is a band director at Perkiomen Valley. My son is 6 and is mostly interested in the drums and piano. My daughter is 4 and enjoys singing Beatles songs :-) We also recently rescued our dog and named him Ringo (any Beatles fans out there?!)!
