The first Monday of September, otherwise known as Labor Day to Americans, is a holiday not only celebrated in the US but also in many other industrialized countries globally. In most cases, this special day symbolizes one of two things: a day off or the end of summer. It's goals were to pay tribute to the working man and woman. The idea of Labor Day is credited to Peter McGuire, the founder of a National Carpenters Union. Because of him, 20,000 workers despite warnings staged the first ever Labor Day Parade on September 5, 1882 in the streets of New York City. But it wasn't until June 29, 1894 that President Grover Cleveland officially signed Labor Day into the law.
In case you didn't have anything to do this Labor Day, some crafty ideas for include creating a collage of magazine pictures featuring people at work. If you can't find enough pictures for a collage, then just write out a quick story about picture you were able to clip.
