The Woodbury Heights town clock marks time during a typical January morning on Elm Avenue not far from the town's municipal building. It's easy to overlook tiny Woodbury Heights, surrounded as it is by its larger and more bustling neighbors. On one side lies Woodbury, the county seat with its impressive historic and government buildings, its downtown and its distinguished place in colonial history. On the street, we stopped native sons and daughters going about their daily tasks. As we snapped their pictures, they were pleased to tell us what they like about their town.
People know one another and care.
Citizens are not afraid to get involved when the going gets tough for one of their neighbors. Extending the hand of charity across her borders is important, too. Containers filled with coins and greenbacks were seen everywhere as Woodbury Heights residents collected funds to assist West Deptford firefighter Jim Heenan, seriously injured in another town while battling a recent house fire. Schools are vital to any community, and in Woodbury Heights residents are proud of their educational system. Good schools'' were common words on the lips of the Woodbury Heights residents we met.
