Second School Counselor at PUE
We are getting a second school counselor at PUE! Her bio and picture are below:
My name is Chloe Bratt and I am so excited to be joining the school counseling team at Pleasant Union Elementary. I graduated from Long Island University at C.W. Post with a master's degree in School Counseling and graduated from the State University of New York College at Oneonta with a bachelor's degree in Child and Family Studies. I am originally from New York and recently moved to Raleigh with my husband and almost 2 year old son. We are loving living here and are enjoying all the family friendly fun that the Raleigh area has to offer. I am looking forward to meeting everyone at Pleasant Union Elementary soon!
