Labor Day Lessons

According to Wikipedia, "Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September. ... The holiday originated in 1882 as the Central Labor Union of New York City sought to create 'a day off for the working citizens.'

Today, Labor Day is often regarded as a day of rest and parades."

However, of late, schools have begun well before Labor Day, as early as July 24 in many urban districts..."
