THE Grays Shopping Centre recently organised a Back to School Sticker Hunt around the Centre for children to enjoy during the last days before the end of the Summer holidays and start of the new academic year.
Families visiting the Centre were invited by ‘nerdish academics’ dressed in mortar boards, school ties, academic gowns and geeky glasses to collect special stickers from four participating shops and to exchange their completed entry form for a gift and entry into a Free Draw.
Over 280 children took part in the Hunt and 7 year old Keelan Perry from Grays proved to be a star student in economics as he chose an impressive assortment of practical and fun items to make up his Back to School “Survival Kit”.
“Children visiting the Centre certainly seemed to enjoy taking part in our Sticker Hunt, says Keith Evans, Manager of the Grays Shopping Centre ”and it was a great way to finish off the Summer break before the start of the new school year.”
