HAPPY DANCE!!!
The first two weeks of school are officially over! The students have faced many new challenges this year already. In addition to new teachers, new classes and making new friends, they also have to master the tasks of social distancing, wearing face masks and hand sanitizing. Whew!
Our HMS students have done an AMAZING job with all of this and we are very PROUD of our pack!!

LABOR DAY!
The first Monday of September is dedicated in honor of the American worker, it is also appropriately called the "workingman's holiday". The holiday is dedicated to you in respect and appreciation for the work you do in or outside of the home, union or non-union, big company, small companies, or government. As long as you work somewhere at something, this holiday is for you!
The first Labor Day was held celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882 and was started by the Central Labor Union in New York City. In 1884, it was moved to the first Monday in September where it is celebrated today. Labor Day quickly became popular and one state after another voted it as a holiday. On June 28, 1894, the U.S. congress voted it a national holiday.
Labor Day is also viewed as the official end of summer. While the Fall Equinox is still a couple of weeks away, kids go back to school and summer vacations are over.
Many Labor Day traditions start with a day off, parades and one last picnic. It is also the date that many people close up the pool, and put away the boats. Enjoy your weekend!
