YouTube sensation Blippi to perform in Corpus Christi on musical tour
Looking for one more thing to do with the kiddos before school starts?
Children s YouTube sensation Blippi has added a stop in Corpus Christi to the energetic Blippi the Musical Tour.
Blippi and his tour will be making their stop in the Coastal Bend on Aug. 13 at the American Bank Center s Selena Auditorium.
After starting a YouTube channel a few years ago, Blippi has become an instant favorite with the kids and one of the most popular creators on the platform. His channel currently has nearly 13 million subscribers.
Tickets for the show go on sale July 9 and can be purchased on Ticketmaster and at the American Bank Center box office.
On May 8, they will finally be able to stop counting.
After nearly four years of repairs, the center is reopening its doors to the public with new exhibits Saturday for the first time since Hurricane Harvey. It feels great, said Sally Palmer, the communications coordinator for the University of Texas Marine Science Institute. It just feels nice to have this completed and be back in the community.
The center suffered damage from Hurricane Harvey and was forced to build new exhibits after completing repairs to the walls, roof, floors and windows.
When it came time to assess the damage, the staff thought it was reasonable to question the future of the center.
Robstown ISD will hold a COIVD-19 vaccination clinic Monday, May 10 at Robstown Early College High School.
The clinic will be held from 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. for employees, parents and community members. It will be in the auditorium at 609 W. Highway 44.
The Pfizer vaccine will be used, so students 16 and older may receive their shot with parental consent. Parents do not have to be present, but a written consent form is required.
Participants will be required to stay for 15 minutes after the vaccine is administered to be monitored.
More COVID-19 news from Corpus Christi
Students and staff of Faye Webb Elementary School were all decked out in blue attire as they held their first Autism Awareness Walk at the campus Friday.
Assistant principal Kimberly Ellis put the march together as an extension of the diversity, equity and inclusion initiative school officials have set at the campus. The theme for the walk was Light It Up Blue. I taught Special Education before I became an administrator and I always say once a Special Education teacher, always a Special Education teacher, Ellis said. Even though I m in this administrative position, I feel this personal obligation to make sure every single student is provided a solid education. That accompanies inclusion; we have to be all inclusive to ensure every single student is learning at their full potential.
