🌟 Highlights from one of our incredible Beyond School Walls Program! 🌟 Our Bigs and Littles from Adaptimmune and Cramer Hill Elementary School had an amazing year together! Last month, the Littles hosted their Bigs for a Reverse Day at Cramer Hill Elementary. Matches enjoyed a delightful catered lunch, followed by an adventurous scavenger hunt around the school. Littles were thrilled to receive prizes for completing the hunt! The following week, the matches wrapped up their year with a final meeting at Adaptimmune. After sharing a wonderful lunch, Bigs and Littles teamed up to create inspiring summer bucket lists, setting goals and dreams for the upcoming school year. We are so proud of the bonds formed and the memories made this year. Here’s to more adventures and growth in the future! #BeBig #LittleMoments
