Be Glad

I’m glad I go to my school and got to be a-part of this town. I wouldn’t want to spend my afternoons anywhere else. I have many memories in this town and on the street of Bellevue. This town is part of my life and had made me feel welcomed all 4 years of high school. I will always remember this town and all the fun it filled my life with.

Classic

The town is decorated for every season. The lights around the street seem old, and all the statues look 100s of years old. Every time I walk through town I see something new and interesting. There is so much to the town of Hammonton and Downtown Hammonton is the highlight. It describes Hammonton in every way. Hammonton is new but old, cool but classic, and everything in-between.

The Town of
Hammonton

I go to school at St. Joseph High School in Hammonton. I love the school and the friends I made but most of all; I’ve learned to love the town the most. There is so much history behind every building and street. Most people know this town as the Blueberry capital of the world but what I see the most is the main street, Bellevue.

Favorite Things

Bellevue is a block away from my school and has little shops on every corner, from Marcello's and JoJo’s Fro Yo to an art gallery and barber shop. Bellevue has so much to offer to my fellow students and everyone in Hammonton. Athletes in my school will go to Wawa before practice or Marcello's before a game, for a meal. Some people take art lessons after school or even karate lessons. There is a store where we can get athletic wear with our school’s logo .

The Culture
The culture and buildings in downtown Hammonton are very old and historical. Most the buildings are still around from when Hammonton was first settled. Part of my school has a red bricked building that is so old, its basement floor is dirt and the walls are stone. The town hasn’t changed through all these years though. Sure new stores come in and make some changes but the buildings stay the same.
Traditions
My father grew up here and he told me all about stories of the car shows, saint walks, and carnivals. My grandparents own a catering business and always have a stand next to the bank during the car show. They sold delicious food while people walked by looking at all the old and fascinating cars. During Christmas there is a big tree set up in middle of downtown. It’s as tall as the buildings and lights up the whole street. The people of Hammonton act like one big family.
