PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Committee to Elect Pam Malumphy for Pittsfield mayor is hosting a fundraising campaign event at Mazzeo's Ristorante on Tuesday, Aug. 18, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The campaign welcomes all candidates to attend the "Certification Celebration" for all those whose names will appear on the Sept. 22 primary election ballot. Aug. 18 is final day of eligibility (when the submitted nomination signatures are certified) for the September ballot.

Noting that the ballot will be filled with many new names and several contested primary races, Malumphy's Committee wanted to kick off the campaign season on a celebratory note.

Suggested donations to the event run from $1 to $100 and everyone from the community is welcome to attend. Mazzeo's Ristorante is located at 7 Winter St.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Students in Pittsfield and beyond are enjoying their last days of summer before classes begin.

Most Berkshire County teachers return to work this month, and students follow in late August and early September.

For Pittsfield Public Schools, staff returns on Aug. 26 and students' first day is Aug. 31; pre-kindergarten and kindergarten begin school on Sept. 2.

Labor Day is on Monday, Sept. 7.

"The summer is pretty much done, and we will be ready and excited to open the doors in about two and a half weeks,” Superintendent Latifah Phillips told the School Committee on Wednesday.

Phillips is returning this year as the permanent superintendent. She was appointed the interim superintendent last spring, and the School Committee voted to hire her permanently in June.

This year also brings the middle school restructuring, moving fifth grade to the middle school level, and the retirement of Morningside Community School.

Welcome night for Reid Middle School students new to the building is on Aug. 18 at 6 p.m.; Herberg will have a sixth-grade welcome night at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 25, and at the same time on Aug. 26 for fifth grade.
