This means you HAVE to be nice to your brothers and sisters and not fight on this day.  No, I'm kidding...although I'm sure your parents would enjoy the peace and quiet.  Maybe you could sit down and read them this book.

NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!

Now, who knows WHY we don't have school on Monday??  That's right, it's Labor Day!  It's a day when we celebrate everyone's hard work throughout the year.  Here is a book about a man named Cesar Chavez.  I wonder what work he did?

Me? From the Black Lagoon? I think not. Well, maybe...

I love the black lagoon books.  They poke fun (nicely) at just about everyone in the school.  And, I really relate to this book because this is so ME in the morning before I put on my make up!  Hmmmmmm....but I really hope I'm not quite this boring! You be the judge.

Don;t forget to roll your mouse over the picture.  Like always I've added cool stuff for you to check out!
