In addition, children will have the opportunity to create “First Day of School” magnet photo frames, “School is Cool” door hangers and get their photo taken in a “First Day of School” photo setting. Arty from The Arty Loon Show will entertain little ones with a 20-minute magic show at 10:30 a.m. and 11:20 a.m. Arty has performed for MTV, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Disney, NBC-Universal, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, and many more!For more information on The Arty Loon Show, visit www.artyloonshow.com.
- Introducing what’s hot: Before hitting the books, families can explore the latest clothing, accessory and toy trends from retailers at Del Amo Fashion Center.
- Sharing savvy ways to save: Event attendees will have the chance to participate in a raffle to win prizes and giveaways including AMC movie tickets and tackle their back to school shopping lists with exclusive retailer coupons. In addition, while supplies last, members of the Kidgits Club will receive a special back-to-school gift -- a Kidgits backpack complete with a notebook, pencil, eraser, pencil sharpener, ruler/bookmark, pencil pouch, and bottled water.
“At Simon® malls, we know the back-to-school experience means more to families than simply purchasing must-have supplies,” said Lindsay Hermance, director of marketing and business development at Del Amo Fashion Center. “We’re hosting our annual Back-to-School event to encourage parents and kids to connect with each other, enjoy a final moment of summer fun at their favorite Simon mall, and are ready to take on a new school year.”
