mailActor Tom Holland, best known for portraying the web-slinging superhero of the Spider-Man films, visited the Campus School at Boston College in November after donating $25,000 through his family’s nonprofit, The Brothers Trust. The grant will be used to purchase assistive technology and a ceiling lift to aid physical therapy exercises at the school, which provides special education to young people with extensive support needs. Holland spent several hours interacting with students in the classrooms and even playing tambourine and singing during a music therapy session. “The way he engaged with them was really quite beautiful,” said Jennifer Miller, marketing manager for the Campus School. “He was just so natural and so caring.” ◽
