My personal favorite “If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it”. Sadly in 1984 Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Syndrome. After a long battle, the greatest of all time was beat. On June 3, 2016 the champ had died. The Passing Of A Great By Thomas O’Neill Muhammad Ali was an American professional boxer and was considered the greatest heavyweight in history. He was born on January 17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. He had a great career of 56 wins with 37 knockouts and 19 decisions. He was also an American Olympic boxer who won a gold medal in 1960 in Rome. In 1990 Ali finished his boxing career by topping it off with an induction into the International Box Hall of Fame. Muhammad Ali like yogi Berra was known for great quotes. His most famous quote was “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. Another favorite is “If Unofficial Summer Holidays By Sophia Garomo With summer just around the corner, I've heard about some Unofficial Holidays you might like to hear. July National Ice Cream Day: What's better than an ice cream cone on a hot summer day? National ice Cream Day is on July 17th . Actually the whole month of July is National Ice Cream Month. Both were made official in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan. National Hot Dog Day: National Hot Dog Day is on July 23rd. Hot Dogs are loved by children and adults. Whether they are plain, with one or a combination of mustard, ketchup, onions, relish, cheese, bacon, chili, or sauerkraut, hot dogs are one of the most loved foods in America. August National S'mores Day: National S’mores Day is on August 10th. The first official s'mores recipe was published in a Girl Scout’s Handbook in 1927.When National S'mores Day comes around grab a few friends and have a campfire or just make s'mores in the microwave. Fun fact: They are called s'mores because you always want “some more” of these delicious treats! Book Lover’s Day: Book Lover’s Day is on August 9th. It is a great day to celebrate because reading is educational, informative, and relaxing. Book Lover’s Day encourages you to kick back and relax with a good book . Hair Donation Elizabeth Oliveri-DiSalvio I donated my hair because I was too hot with my long hair. This is my 2nd time donating my hair. It is a good cause for girls who have cancer. I did research and found out girls need the wigs and some boys don’t. I was excited to cut my hair. I want to donate my hair again. My parents we so proud of me. I know some kids in the world might have donated their hair. Kids who have cancer need all the help they can get. It’s hurtful to everyone even parents that their child has cancer. My Uncle Jimmy had lung cancer. There are different types of cancer. My uncle didn’t make it. I keep him in my prayers. Donating your hair is excellent for the children to get wigs. I was proud of myself. I can’t wait to write back to Lox Of Love. Donate your hair for kids who have cancer. Thank you for reading. When is a baseball player like a spider?

Hillary Clinton For President By Alessandra DePaulis Hillary Clinton would be an outstanding President of the United States.

othing Normal? By Samantha Lewis­Bullen Chapter 1 Nothing was normal. Fish were flopping on land. Clouds were in the ocean. Cats and dogs were getting along. All cups were upside down. Garbage was on the floor. What went wrong? Chapter 2 Today was national fishing day. That explains the fish. It was also the cloud boat race. Mr. Whiskers actually did like dogs. I guess he was too embarrassed to tell me he did. My brother was cup stacking. When the garbage man came he broke the bag and some fell out. Everything was normal. Thanks for reading.

By: Owen Lopez The Good Shepherd Gazzette At the beginning of the Good Shepherd Gazzete there wasn’t so much detail but because of Mr. O’Brien the newspaper grew. Everyone is excited that it is the end of school but not so happy about the end of the newspaper this year. I hope everyone liked the newspaper this year. By Reagan Murphy The Day Chris Duffy Started LikingSports Chapter 1 Different People It was September 9, 2015, the first day of school. Chris Duffy always thinks sports are boring. Chris Duffy is a couch potato. Anthony Pinto loves sports. Chris Duffy liked baseball but never thought it was interesting. Anthony Pinto plays football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. One day when Chris Duffy came to school Anthony Pinto told him the more sports you play the more interesting they are. Michael Loccisano loves sports. Anthony Pinto was on Michael’s baseball team. Chapter 2 Duffy Plays Sports One day after school Anthony and Michael saw Chris Duffy playing baseball. The next day of school Anthony and Michael told Chris they saw him playing baseball yesterday. He said “I forgot to tell you guys”. They said “Finally you start playing sports”. By: Anthony Pinto and Chris Duffy An Angelic War By Alexandra Falgiano Chapter 3 I go to s leep later that night with the s ight of the destroyed Brooklyn bridge in my eyes. I woke up the next morning when the s un was s tarting to rise, my days for the next month would be the most boring of my life, little did I know my life would be the s ame way for the next several years. By the time my life was even remotely interesting it was around one year after we started to reestablish our economy to the way it was before any of this even s tarted. The journey was long and hard but we are nearly there, and there haven’t been as many fights in the s treet between angels and demons, s o I figure it’s over, or at least close to it. 20 Years Later……. There is only love and peace in the world, no more war, terrorism, violence, or even arguments. We are in utopia, a community with perfection! There has never been a better time to be alive, or s o I thought. In the beginning it was great, no war no violence, right. The way we are living now is horrible we are killed, or s uddenly disappear if we s tart even the s lightest act of violence. Many have attempted to fight against it but, once heaven and hell have agreed on s omething there is no changing their minds. James “disappeared” around a month ago, he was the closest thing I had to a family and now he is gone. All of my family died years ago, my parents, of old age, my brother, killed by demons, and now James by the new utopia order. I am alone. My Valentine Mascot By Elizabeth Oliveri­Disalvio & Taylor Cole­Hector Chapter 4 “Hey Lizzie, do you want to go to the dance with me?” John said nervously. “Yes of course,” said Lizzie. “Does this mean we are boyfriend and girlfriend?” asked John. “Yes” said Lizzie. Lizzie’s friends were happy for her. Chapter 5 Lizzie asked John, what shirt he was wearing to the prom. John said, “maybe one of my old shirts.” “You can’t wear something old,” said Lizzie. “You are not the boss of me,” said John. They had their first fight and broke up. Lizzie was sad and told her friends. They were mad at John for hurting Lizzie. Lizzie and John thought about their silly fight. Chapter 6 Lizzie tried to call John but he did not answer. She told her mom and her mom said “just give it time and let him call you.” John called Lizzie and said “he knows prom is important and he should not wear old clothes.” My mom said “he should look his best and he was sorry.” John asked Lizzie to the prom again and she said “yes!” Lizzie called her friends to tell them she and John are together again. Chapter 7 Wow!” You look great,” Lizzie said to John. John said, you look great yourself.” Everyone was dressed so nice and they all had the best time ever.
