Maui Mall Maui Mall Celebrates Marine & Ocean Science at Family Sundays Event on May 26 Event to include a mobile aquarium, student recognition Maui Mall invites all families with school-aged children to attend its Maui Mall Family Sundays event this Sunday, May 26 from noon to 2 p.m. This free monthly event will include a mobile aquarium by the Maui Ocean Center, student recognition and iPad Mini giveaway and keiki activities highlighting Marine & Ocean Science.

Read Aloud America will do a read aloud session immediately following the Family Sundays event in Whole Foods Market. Maui Mall will also recognize select students at center stage for their achievements in academics and character. These students have been nominated by Maui teachers, then selected by Maui Mall and entered into a student drawing where one lucky student will go home with an iPad Mini. Kiley Kochi Last month, Maui Mall awarded an iPad Mini to seventh-grader Kiley Kochi. Kochi, who attends Doris Todd Memorial Christian School, was nominated by her teacher Dave Gable because she “works well with her classmates and is a good influence on them.” Kochi finished first in her school’s science fair and received a special award from Maui Electric Company at the Maui science fair. Maui Mall is encouraging all Maui teachers to nominate their students, when the 2013-2014 school year begins in August, via online form or letter. The next iPad Mini giveaway will be August 25. Additionally, students who are chosen by Maui Mall from March through November will be re-entered in a cumulative drawing for a chance to win a MacBook Air notebook at the Maui Mall Family Sundays finale event on January 26, 2014. Nomination forms, deadlines and more information can be found on the Family Sundays link at www.MauiMall.com.
