Simon, a leading global retail real estate company, is holding a special celebration to help young students and parents across the country ‘make the grade’ even before the school year begins. Families are invited to score an “A+” in preparedness and entertainment with Simon Kidgits Club®’s annual Back-to-School event at Smith Haven Mall on Saturday, August 23, 2014 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Center Court.

Simon Kidgits Club’s Back-to-School event will feature a variety of interactive activities for children and valuable offers for adults, all designed to make transitioning into academic routines a little easier.

  • Infusing some fun: To incorporate excitement into getting back to the classroom, kids will have the opportunity to participate in a bounce house, games, seasonal-inspired craft-making activities from Capital One Bank and story time with Barnes & Noble. Cohen Children’s Hospital will be on-site and host an activity for families as well.
