What they're saying: Karen Finch, Co-Director and Lead Audiologist at All About Hearing, thanked the pupils for their creativity with chocolate Easter eggs. "It was a truly heartwarming experience," she said. "The children were so enthusiastic and proud of their artwork, and watching them teach the Easter Bunny to sign was just magical."
