Lancaster bargain hunters have a new place to shop with the grand reopening of a new store with a familiar name.

Goody’s department store reopened March 23 in Lancaster Square Shopping Center – nearly two years after the closing of Lancaster’s former Goody’s store.

For shoppers, the sight of the familiar orange and blue Goody’s sign was like a magnet drawing almost 300 people who started lining up as early as 6:30 a.m. to be among the first through the doors when the store opened at 9 a.m.

Looking for something fun for the kids to do this summer?

Maybe you want them to learn a thing or two in the process?

If those ideas appeal to you, then there’s no need to look any further than Camp Adventure.

Sponsored by the Lancaster County School District’s Gifted and Talented Program and Discovery Charter School, Camp Adventure meshes intellectual stimulation and fun for a unique summer experience.

The S.C. Department of Education upgraded Indian Land High School’s report card after officials discovered inaccuracies in their ratings.

The change, which also affected 14 other state high schools and four school districts, raised ILHS’s “absolute rating” from “good” to “excellent.”

Absolute ratings are a measure of overall student performance on standardized tests.
