Valentine's Day Saved!

...OK maybe partially! At least we got a greater response for the roses we were selling (or promising to order and deliver anyway!) at lunch today! Originally at interval Jacqueline, the twins and I stood there all by ourselves outside the staffroom.

No one wanted any roses! It was looking as if things would continue to be the same throughout lunch. I had a headstudents meeting I had to attend but every so often a staff member would pop into the deputy principal's office where we were having the meeting and asking where the roses were being sold. We had put in the notices that they'd be sold outside the staffroom but because the road leading to the staffroom had been partially blocked due to construction, the girls decided to sell roses beside the tuckshop. I ended up having to leave the meeting to urgently revive the rose-selling and as soon as everything started to get rolling I went back into the meeting.

When I came out though things seemed to have picked up!

Toni, Heather and Joanne (fellow Valentine's Day haters) even pitched in to help attract more customers! In the end I lost all shame and just went out there advertising the 24" roses with leaves for $1.50 each to everyone who went by. Judging by what people said we should get more people at interval tomorrow morning. Let's hope they show up!

The student radio Heather and I had been trying to set up hit a bump, in that we had to wait on the music teacher to get back to us on what music equipment to use. After assembly (in which us head-students were given our badges) I talked to Mr Mataia one of the senior PE teachers about using the PE department equipment and he gave the all clear which means we'll hopefully be able to start up tomorrow! Jacqueline and Troy will start it off appropriately with their slow jam/RnB/love music for Valentine's Day!
