It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. The second Labor Day holiday was celebrated just a year later, on September 5, 1883. In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday. The first Labor Day was observed by having a parade to exhibit to the public “the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations ” of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. Celebrating Labor Day Nowadays In the U.S., Labor Day is an official federal holiday. This means that all government offices, schools and many businesses are closed on this day. In parts of the country, people celebrate by parades, fireworks and barbeques. Labor Day is also the unofficial “end of Summer.” Let the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation ’s strength, freedom, and leadership—The American Worker 2 PD ACCIDENT — Marie Avenue 8/25/2017, 0754 HOURS Dispatched to two vehicle property damage accident at Marie /Dodd.

It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children.  Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you're on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children.  If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop.  The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus.  Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks.
