SEPTEMBER 2014
While states in the South may start school in
late August, most Northern states begin the
school year after the Labor Day holiday,
giving families one last weekend to spend at
the beach before packing things up for the
year. Several other less well-known holidays
occur in September, including: Teddy Bear
Day on September 9, Newspaper Carrier Day
on September 4, National Peanut Day on
September 13, Constitution Day on
September 17 and Checkers Day on
September 23.
In addition, many churches and school have
fall festivals in September that feature
carnival rides, bonfires and hayrides. The
coolers weather brings people outdoors, and
in many states, the leaves on the trees begin
to change colors. In the South, September
temperatures are often hot, much like August,
and residents and visitors still flock to the
beach. The labor day holiday brings the first
long weekend of the school year, with many
people choosing to barbecue and spend time
with friends and family.
September was the seventh month of the original Roman calendar. This
is where it got its name which means seventh. Later, when January and
February were added to the calendar it became the ninth month.
When the British changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian
calendar in 1752, they needed to adjust some days to get the seasons
aligned with the months. They took 11 days from the month of
September jumping directly from September 3 rd to the 14th. Now it’s as
if the days between September 3rd and 13th during 1752 never happened
in British history.

Back to School!
Hello, parents and guardians. It’s that time for our Children to
load up their back-packs, don their new threads and head back to
school. (Or college). It can be a hard transition going from the
freedom of the summer to the structure of being a full-time
student. But you know what, it’s worth it. There is nothing like
getting a good education, it gives our children a foundation for
the rest of their lives. So let’s encourage them to stay focus on
their education.
“Every student can learn. Just not on the same day or the
same way.”
