The event took a deeply personal turn as teachers shared their health journeys, bridging the gap between instruction and inspiration. These narratives, rich with experience and emotion, served as a testament to the impact of healthy living, encouraging students to view health not just as a subject to be learned, but as a lifestyle to be embraced.
