“I just wanted to thank you for being so nice to me for over a decade, thank you very much you have kept me employed, welcomed me into your homes, and the school. I want to do something nice for Exeter. At this point I can no longer support every activity, but I wanted to start this community service award, which I will donate $1,000 a year” Said Chaudry.

“Thank you (Hamid) for all that you do and continue to for the Berks County community. These awards are named after you for your tremendous support.” – Jason Forentìn, President of Berks Hometown Heroes.

Three other students were also chosen for the inaugural May Days Student Achievement Award. Awards were given to three students who excelled in and outside of the classroom.

Winners included, Peyton Halsey, for being names U-17 US National Team for Field Hockey, Olivia Moyer, for being names Berks Outstanding Young Women, and Sophia Scoboria, for being the 1st Exeter Student who will go on to play Collegiate water polo. Each recipient won $100 and a trophy.
