canda - Here in Arkansas, we are also already in school before Labor Day. Our students return Aug. 19th, and teachers before that, of course. As a counselor, I will have to be back around the 3rd week of July, so I am considering taking a personal day on the Friday (flying down late Thursday night) before the Labor Day holiday to have my last "hurrah". Since I will have been back at work about 7 weeks by then, I think I will probably need a break! LOL!
