On Friday July 20th, several kids from the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center were treated to an unforgettable field trip day to the Texas State Aquarium, proudly sponsored by STRIPES. The guided tour included a professional sign language interpreter, a few aquatic shows, a delicious lunch, and a treat pit stop at one of our stores where the kids got to pick their favorite Slush Monkey flavor. It was a day filled with smiles and excitement. For some of the kids it was their first time experience at the Aquarium so the Dolphin jumps and crab petting was extra memorable. Que Cool!
