At the June meeting, the Hammonton Education Foundation proudly thanked and recognized board members Karen Littlefield and Gina Giralo (who was unable to attend) as they conclude their time on the board.

Their dedication, leadership, and commitment to the Foundation’s mission have helped strengthen our organization—expanding learning opportunities and supporting innovative projects for students across the Hammonton Public School District.

We are grateful for their years of service and the lasting impact they leave on our community!

The Hammonton Education Foundation was proud to support a recent community-based field trip initiative benefitting WES Elementary students.

In partnership with Hammonton Drug Awareness, 50 WES Elementary students and staff enjoyed a guided walking tour of Downtown Hammonton. The day began at the Hammonton Family Success Center, where students learned about pedestrian safety, then practiced those skills on their way to Town Hall for an informative tour of local offices.

Students also enjoyed lunch at Marcello’s and a sweet treat at Mannino’s before returning for more time at the Family Success Center.

This trip provided valuable real-world learning, helping students build confidence while practicing important life and social skills.
