Souhegan High School Senior Receives DAR Good Citizens Award
AMHERST, NH - Three area high school students from Mont Vernon, Milford, and Wilton received the “Good Citizens” Award by the Captain Josiah Crosby Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) at a luncheon given in their honor on February 15.
The students, all high school seniors, represented their schools in a proctored Good Citizens Essay contest in the fall. “You and your peers are our nation’s leaders of tomorrow. How would you energize America’s youth to fully engage as effective citizens? Why is that important,” was the question students had to answer in their essays.
The winning students include: Georgia Jones, Souhegan Cooperative High School; Kaitlin LoVerme, Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative High School; and Brennan Parker, Milford High School. Each award recipient receives a blue and gold DAR “Good Citizens” pin, wallet card and certificate, and an unspecified monetary gift. Kaitlin LoVerme’s essay has advanced to the state competition and was recognized by the NH state DAR, and Governor Chris Sununu at a luncheon on March 6th.
The Good Citizens Award recognizes and rewards high school seniors who exemplify the qualities of a good citizen: dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. The contest is open to senior high students enrolled in accredited public or private schools.

YMCA of Greater Nashua’s “Beyond Our Walls” Virtual Programming Initiative Keeps the Community Engaged
While the branches of the YMCA of Greater Nashua are closed, the Y wants to keep our community active. We’ve launched a “BEYOND OUR WALLS” web page so that everyone can stay active and engaged with virtual programming.
The mission of the Y is bigger than a building!
Every day the Y works to ensure kids have a safe place to go and food to eat, that older adults have a place to socialize, stay active and not be negatively impacted by isolation and loneliness, that everyone in our community has access to a place where they can connect and stay healthy.
That’s why it’s so important in uncertain times like these that incredible members stay with us – to help us in our quest to continue to do good in the community. Each person’s relationship with the Y is what keeps us going, keeps us strong and keeps us in service to those who need it most. We thank our members for that and want to let you know how we intend to continue connecting over the next few weeks, despite our buildings being closed. We will also share information through our website (www.nmymca.org) and our social media of other responses to community need, like our recent American Red Cross Blood Drive at the Nashua YMCA.
Here, you will find a set of virtual tools, open-air resources, and information you can put to use while we all comply with public health efforts. It’s our way of helping you to stay active, healthy and connected in your own home, and in your own time. We will be updating new things to do, cook and try over the next several weeks so be sure to check in.
