๐โจ This World Health Day, letโs remember: 'My health, my right.' ๐๐ฉบ
In a world brimming with challenges, from climate crises to health inequalities, today serves as a crucial reminder that health is not a privilege but a universal human right. ๐๐
As we celebrate #WorldHealthDay, let's advocate for equitable access to healthcare for all, from the air we breathe to the water we drink. Let's commit to a future where every individual, regardless of their background, has the right to live a healthy life. ๐ค๐ง
๐ Healthy Tip for Students: Snack smart! Fruits, nuts, and yogurt are not just tasty; they're also fuel for your brain, perfect for keeping you energized for learning and play. ๐ง ๐โโ๏ธ

Next week, weโre in for a rare treat โ a solar eclipse! ๐ As we prepare to witness this awe-inspiring event, let's make sure we do it safely. Hereโs your quick guide to enjoying the eclipse without risking your eyesight. Remember, safety first! ๐โ
โจ Use eclipse glasses or solar viewers that meet the ISO 12312-2 standards (sometimes written as ISO 12312-2:2015). But, take breaks! Donโt stare at the sun continuously. ๐ถ๏ธ
๐ฆ Craft a box pinhole viewer! Itโs not just a fun DIY but a safe way to observe the eclipse.
๐คฒ Use your hands to create a "waffle pattern" by crossing fingers slightly spread apart. Look down to see the crescent sun shadows during partial eclipse stages.
๐ณ Look at shadows beneath a leafy tree during the partial eclipse. The natural "pinhole effect" creates beautiful crescent sun shadows.

๐Meet Our Team Monday!๐
Let's welcome Mr. Zak Zuzula, our new Assistant Principal of Athletics at John Glenn High & Christa McAuliffe Middle School! ๐ซ With a journey from a middle school social studies teacher to leadership roles, Zak's background includes a Masters in Educational Technology from MSU and diverse coaching experiences. ๐๐
Mr. Zuzula never envisioned a career in education growing up. However, a transformative two-week visit to his middle school history teacher during college opened his eyes to the profound impact educators have on young, eager minds. ๐๐ซ This experience shifted his path toward education, leading him to embrace the program at SVSU with passion and enthusiasm. ๐ Today, Zak finds joy in every day he spends in this field, living by the saying, "Find what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life."๐ผ๐
Before joining the world of education, Mr. Zuzula was a traveling musician ๐ถ, touring the country and recording music ๐ค with his brother. This period was filled with fun and memorable experiences shared with a loved one โค๏ธ. Today, Zak still enjoys playing music ๐ธ and is passionate about athletics ๐โโ๏ธ, especially golf ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ, which he plays as often as possible. He values family time, actively participating in his children's interestsโfrom video games ๐ฎ and baseball โพ to enjoying golf with his wife!
๐ฌ His favorite quotes are "No regrets" โจ and "Nobody woke up today wanting to be average" ๐.
๐๐ Welcome aboard, Mr. Zuzula! Let's make our schools shine together! ๐
