Good morning, Nashua.

Beth and Brad Kreick will be honored Sunday at Sky Meadow Country Club where Gov. Kelly Ayotte will speak at a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. as they receive the inaugural Dr. Robert Moheban Humanitarian/Community Hero Award for their work in youth education and mental health.

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua celebrated 200 years on Sunday with a worship service, a community lunch serving 200 cupcakes, and a virtual historical walk that spotlighted its deep ties to local civic life.

The church continues to shape Nashua through ongoing social engagement.

During this week's Board of Education meeting, Nashua School District updated its bullying policy to cover off-campus cyberbullying (including incidents at home) following Gov. Kelly Ayotte signing HB 131.

Districts must submit reports on implementing the new measures by Dec. 15.

State officials opened two surveys today for childcare providers to report family charges and program expenses to shape future subsidy plans (despite prior contract delays).

Providers will use the N.H. Connections Information System until Nov. 15, with a report expected next spring.

Stefany Shaheen launched her first general election ad on Wednesday, attacking Anthony DiLorenzo on gas prices and war policies as the race for an open First District seat heats up.

The ad runs on local broadcast channels as debates begin at the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham.

A new report from New Hampshire Housing shows that wages needed to afford rent in cities (for example, $41.12 in Nashua) are much higher than state averages, forcing more workers to endure longer commutes.

Rising home prices and a unit shortage could worsen the trend.
