It’s Maestro Monday, and the Zebra Morning Show welcomes one of NBHS’s newest faculty members: Ms. Gozu, the school’s new Japanese teacher. Born in Japan and raised in Florida, Ms. Gozu shares her journey from studying psychology to becoming an English teacher, and eventually finding her true calling teaching Japanese. She opens up about her family, her love for tennis (and pickleball aspirations), and how she balances life as both an educator and a mom.

The crew dives into fun and thoughtful topics—from sibling dynamics and yoga naps to Studio Ghibli films, Dead Poets Society, and even baby goat yoga. Ms. Gozu also offers advice for students about making mistakes, moving forward, and being kind to themselves. The episode wraps up with her inspirational marquee quote for Zebra Nation: “Just move forward. Just keep going.”

On this Wild Card Wednesday, the Zebra Morning Show takes a closer look at Oscar’s debut as the student representative to the New Brunswick Board of Education. From sweating under the bright lights to rocking a white button-down shirt (no tie!), Oscar shares the ups and downs of giving his first report. He reflects on being handed last-minute updates from other schools, stumbling over a word, and learning how to make the most of this new leadership role.

Mr. Alex and Mr. Nesi encourage him to use his platform to truly amplify student voices while joking about ties, baldness, and whether or not the board is secretly feasting like royalty after meetings. It’s a mix of humor, honesty, and inspiration, reminding Zebra Nation that every stumble is a step toward growth.

It’s Trivia Tuesday on the Zebra Morning Show, and things got competitive fast! Mr. Alex and Sebastian squared off in a movie-themed trivia showdown hosted by Chuckles Mc Funster.

Along the trivia trail, the crew shouted out the upcoming girls’ volleyball fundraiser at Chipotle (October 7 in North Brunswick—don’t forget the code H7FL4R for 25% back!). Whether it was guessing Woody’s horse in Toy Story 2, misnaming Charlie Chaplin’s insured body part, or finally remembering that Wakanda is the fictional home of Black Panther, this episode proves trivia is more about fun and connection than keeping score.
