Labor Day is celebrated in many different ways but the true meaning behind the holiday sometimes gets lost in translation. The first Monday of September is a tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country created by the labor movement (https://www.dol.gov/general/laborday/history). The holiday is a day to reflect on your career achievements, celebrate the hard work put in every day, and a last hoorah as the end of summer. It is also a perfect day to teach your young ones about the working class and how they impact the country. Below is a craft that can help start a conversation about what they do for a living and how their career inspires others.
