A great morning at Mystic Aquarium helping kick off Deaf Awareness Day! 🦭🐋
I was glad to join Mystic Aquarium and the American School For The Deaf to welcome everyone for a day celebrating the Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and DeafBlind communities.
There is so much happening throughout the aquarium today, from ASL Story Time and walking ASL classes to new exhibits with ASL accessibility. And later this morning, the aquarium will hold its first-ever California sea lion show with live ASL and video interpretation! 🦭
It was wonderful to see so many families, students, educators, interpreters, and community organizations come together for such a fun day at one of our favorite places.
Thank you to Mystic Aquarium, the American School for the Deaf, and everyone who helped put today together! 💙
Such a fun afternoon at Sterling Family Day! Great music, great people, and of course a little dancing to “Pretty Woman.” 💃🐾
Thank you to everyone who puts so much work into making Family Day such a great tradition for Sterling! ❤️
