THE traditional “last-minute shopping” was very much in evidence yesterday as parents and guardians filled the local stores in Georgetown to get school supplies for their children.
School is set to reopen tomorrow, and unlike other terms, this is the beginning of the new school year, so, in most instances, the young ones will be looking forward to new uniforms and supplies.

It is customary for stores, particularly on Regent Street, to be filled at this time of year, but on this occasion, parents have the Giftland Mall as an alternative.
