Yoshi stools are the go

In the holidays I noticed Amart selling yoshi stools for $14.95. These stools are the cutest things - little three legged stools of the old fashioned milking kind but with funky patterns and covers. I tentatively reached out to our teachers through Facebook Messenger and the response nearly shut down the internet! I ordered 100 and then 200 and probably could have ordered 300 but by then our Business Manager had waded into the conversation with a few timely 'Hmmmms'.

The yoshi stools arrived on the Student Free Days and teachers who wanted some were asked to line up down the hall so we could distribute them in an orderly fashion. What eschewed after that like the Boxing Day sales. There was squealing and line jumping, swapping and shouting and best of all laughing. 200 yoshi stools were gone in a flash. I was left with empty cardboard boxes and looking like I'd been pulled through a hedge backwards.

The joy these little stools created had to be seen to be believed. Within minutes classroom corners were set up, teachers were emailing their thanks and the laughter and pleasure around the school was tangible.

A word of advice to Principals around the country - if you're wanting to boost morale in your school just buy some yoshi stools.
