Labor Day celebrates the workers who have made America the country it is today. And all throughout the country, our public schools are full of some of the hardest-working people I have ever met. Teachers, administrators, support staff, custodians, counselors, teachers’ aids—they all work some of the longest hours of any professionals around. They invest countless hours in our kids, including long days, weekends, even summer and winter vacations. Most educators are driven by one driving mission: Making sure students get access to the education and life skills they need to succeed. Happy Labor Day, Teachers!
