Congratulations to Ms. Toufali!!!

She was selected as WHUD's Teacher of the Month for May 2010.

Ms. Toufali teaches Science on Team 7C.

Listen to her interview.

What her students said:

"Ms. Toufali has been an inspiration. She is so funny and nice in school! When I was in sixth grade my Math teacher was my favorite, but I have never even thought about being a Math teacher, but ever since this year I have really liked Science and I consider it to be my favorite subject. I love going to school and walking in to see the smile on Ms. Toufali's face, It really brightens up the day!!! When I grow up, I might even consider to be a Science Teacher!"

"Ms. Toufali is a great Life Science teacher! She is so funny, and makes our Science classes so much fun! From dissections to taking notes, our class always has a laugh! Ms. Toufali really helps me and others understand Science, and now it's my favorite subject!"
