Feels weird to have a holiday from school, considering we've only been in class for 7 days, doesn't it? Well, Labor Day is a federal holiday. This means that the entire United States celebrates this holiday. For example, another Federal Holiday is the Fourth of July.
We celebrate Labor Day to honor the contributions of workers to our country. You might notice that many of your parents did not have to work today. Schools, banks, post offices, court houses, etc are closed today, as well as many offices. Some places like restaurants, stores, hospitals, though are open.
Many people in America see Labor Day as the last "official" day of summer, although Fall doesn't start until later in the month. Many people have cook outs or end of summer parties on Labor Day.
What did your family do today?
