                                    ● Decorating their own bug jar!

                                    ● Creating their own garden stake!

                                    ● Completing coloring and activity sheets.

                                    ● Receiving a movie mini poster (while supplies last).

 

 “At Simon® malls, we know the back-to-school experience means more to families than simply purchasing must-have supplies,” said Shelly Weidner, director of marketing and business development at Town Center at Cobb. “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.”
