PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Price Chopper/Market 32 is once again playing host to the Salvation Army's "Red Kettle" holiday campaign at all 130 of its stores in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. 
 
The Salvation Army and Price Chopper/Market 32 have been collaborative partners in the communities they serve for more than 35 years.
 
Last year's "Red Kettle" campaign at Price Chopper and Market 32 stores raised more than $500,000 in donations directly benefitting those in need throughout the communities where the funds were collected.
 
The campaign this year will run Nov. 14 through Dec. 24.
 
"The annual Red Kettle campaign has become integral to the holiday season – both in our stores and in our communities," said Mona Golub, vice president of public relations and consumer services for Price Chopper/Market 32. "Being able to extend ourselves and welcome our community partners in support of friends and neighbors in need is a blessing."

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Cindy Chevett has been with Head Start her entire career. She says teaching is challenging but also very rewarding. 
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire County Head Start preschool teacher Cindy Chevett has been selected as the August Teacher of the Month. 
 
The Teacher of the Month series, in collaboration with Berkshire Community College, will run for the next nine months and will feature distinguished teachers nominated by community members. You can nominate a teacher here
 
To Chevett, the best part of being a teacher is seeing her students achieve even just the little things, such as writing the letter E or their name. 
 
"It is the best job ever," she says with a smile and tears in her eyes as she says, "I love seeing them achieve."  
 
She said although teaching can be challenging, the classroom environment is very fun and the job is very rewarding. 
 
"There's children that come in and can't really speak so that you can understand them, and modeling, and when they leave the classroom, you can understand them. That was one of my best achievements with the child," Chevett said. 
 
In Chevett's classroom, the students take control of their learning, instilling in them a love of learning.
