 Labor Day is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
With that being said, I hope that everyone enjoyed the long 3-day weekend in honor of Labor Day.
Open House Date
This year Open House will take place Tuesday, September 5, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Parents will have an opportunity to walk their student's schedule and meet teachers. PTSA will hold their general meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the PAC. Please consider joining PTSA.
