Counselor's Corner
Hello Brookhaven Community,
My name is Valerie Toole and I am the new counselor at Brookhaven ES. Previously, I was a Pupil Personnel Worker (PPW) here in MCPS. I am thankful to join the Brookhaven School community and look forward to supporting students and families in a welcoming environment that encourages growth, compassion, kindness, and a joy of learning. I am the proud mom of two amazing young adult daughters. Outside of school, I enjoy bike riding, kayaking, reading and the performing arts. I look forward to building connections and getting to know the Brookhaven students, families, and staff.
