In 1882, Matthew Maguire, a machinist, first proposed the holiday while serving as secretary of the CLU (Central Labor Union) of New York. Others argue that it was first proposed by Peter J. McGuire of theAmerican Federation of Labor in May 1882, after witnessing the annual labor festival held in Toronto, Canada.

Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday in 1887. By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day. From Wikipedia.

Here are 2 great coupons for Back to School. My favorite coupon they have is the $2.00 Carnation Breakfast Essentials and Skinny Cow Candy. This coupon is perfect, a chocolate milk substitute that tastes amazing and has way more nutritional value for the kids and Skinny Cow Candy for me when they are gone! I LOVE the Skinny Cow Candy.

The second offer is for $1 off any 2 Juicy Juice Products. I love putting the 100% juice in the kids lunch boxes and they love them too. My kids are partial to the apple but love the fruit punch almost as much!
