Hi friends!

With another Labor Day behind us, we thought it might be interesting 
to give you some back history on this national holiday. The US has 
celebrated Labor Day for more than 100 years. Dedicated to the social 
and economic achievements of American workers, Labor Day is a yearly 
tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, 
prosperity, and well-being of our country. It's always held the first 
Monday in September, and while many school districts now start classes 
in August, the Labor Day long weekend is a definite indication that 
summer is pretty much done.

That's right, friends. Now that the weekend is over, it means that 
summer is officially over and school is just around the corner.

To prepare for the inevitable ring of the school bell, check out our 
featured book of the month, BEEN THERE, SURVIVED THAT. Written by four 
real teens, BEEN THERE, SURVIVED THAT is the ultimate survival guide 
to freshman year of high school. It even includes humorous tips on 
what NOT to do, as well as funny freshman year horror stories.

How did you spend the long weekend?

Did you celebrate workers' struggles by stuffing your face with 
hotdogs and playing by the pool? Leave us a comment letting us know 
how you spent your last official weekend of freedom!

And make sure to check out
BEEN THERE, SURVIVED THAT!
