Hayward Chamber of Commerce
"We are proud to celebrate Principal Peter Wilson as the Hayward Educator of the Year! Mr. Wilson's leadership at East Avenue Elementary has brought a 60% improvement in Language Arts and Math, as demonstrated by the CAASPP results, a remarkable improvement that has been maintained through the COVID-19 pandemic. He has also prioritized creating a safe and inclusive school climate while promoting STEAM education and professional development for his staff. Beyond his work, Peter enjoys exploring California, coaching youth sports, and searching for the perfect slice of pizza with his family. Congratulations, Principal Wilson!"

He was assigned to patrol in 2022, making over 100 arrests. 65 arrests were proactive, 20 total guns were confiscated, he authored 5 search warrants, he authored 2 Ramey warrants, he authored 2 warrants for felony evading in a vehicle, and he received the California Highway Patrol’s 10851 pin for recovering at least 12 stolen vehicles with at least 3 offenders in custody. He worked on an investigation that reached the FBI and they followed up with a larger investigation based on his initial investigation and arrests. Officer E.

For these reasons, he has been selected as the Police Officer of the Year.
Created by Sotera Brown in September of 1971 as a volunteer-run organization called Family Tutorial Services. This small organization started when a group of volunteers working with Head Start in Hayward saw a need for family-wide services, beyond what Head Start was offering to low-income children. The Family Tutorial Services reached out to the neglected, Spanish-speaking enclaves of Hayward, helping them connect to the rest of the community by offering them English Language tutorials – a stopgap method to teach English to busy, low-income adults.
The Family Tutorial Services expanded its programs into areas where they saw a need arising where other organizations could not meet it. Our Low-Income Weatherization and Senior Nutrition Programs launched in the late 1970s to offer the help the Older Americans Act and US Health and Human Services knew were important to people across the country.
The organization changed its name to Spectrum Community Services in 1986 to reflect its expanding services, and we have stayed true to our 50 year-long mission to help the most vulnerable populations in Alameda County. Our long history of family supportive services and community work has advanced our mission of promoting our clients’ financial sustainability and improving the overall quality of their lives.
Throughout the decades, Kumu Hula Association have been the driving force behind culture and the spirit of aloha. Not only generating business to the City of Hayward through their countless festivals and events but continuing to build community in the city we call home, Hayward. Upon looking at all the qualifications, they have met every single one. Again I would like to emphasize on their years of support given to Hayward businesses and Hayward as a whole. Starting in the 1980's with the Hawaiian Festival, the Hawaiian Hula Competition at Chabot and now the street fair, Hayward is known worldwide as the Hawaiian home away from home.
It gives me great pleasure to nominate "Kaulana Na Pua/ Kumu Hula Association" for Hayward's non-profit of the year!
Moving to Hayward in 1995, April came to Hayward to revel in its diversity and opportunity. April opened Snappy’s Café 13 years ago. As a small business consisting of one employee, Snappy’s gives courteous and consistent service whatever time you visit the establishment. Although the recent pandemic was hard on all establishments, Snappy’s continued to be open for carryout and continued to be a valuable thread in the fabric of our community.
