Phil Knight

 

By Charlie

You know how you have to take out the trash and you just do it?  Well do you?  Well that's Nike for you.  part of their biggest campaign ever "Just do it." so tell me is Nike better than Adidas?  I would say the big N is better - because I am the founder, Phil Knight.

I was determined to be the best at a very young age.  I am a very competitive person and I am not embarrassed to say that because that only makes you better.  At a young age I always liked to run but I never thought it was going to be part of my life.  Fast forward, I'm at the University of Oregon, I had a scholarship for being a track and field athlete, and I was going to go to the Olympics but I decided to not and go back to partner up with my former track and field coach.  We started Blue Ribbon Sports and we were selling shoes out of a van.  Our first shoe was the Moon Shoe.  It was a normal shoe on top but the soles were very futuristic-looking I guess.  The soles were made from a waffle iron and it started from there.  

Now, it took us a long time but we were finally sort of popular.  I branched off into Nike, with Swoosh Inc. And that is where my career absolutely skyrocketed.  The first sign we were going to do with the NBA was for three players.  Once of my employees-slash-very good friends of mine was thinking we should only sign one player and that was Michael Jordan.  I was hesitant at first but I slowly realized that this was an extraordinarily awesomely amazingly good idea.  I mean, I am talking Albert Einstein level.  Jordan made my company billions, and we made him billions.  

Fast forward even more and Nike has blown up in every single continent except Antarctica.  Well, actually, scratch that.  Scientists in Antarctica have probably worn Nike.  At least I hope so.  I am 85 now and everyone has all of my shoes going everywhere every time any way.  Now, personally, my favorite Nikes are (disclaimer, you may not know all of these so don't feel bad) the Ben & Jerry's Dunks, the Dior high-tops, the Moneybag Dunks, Supreme Air Force Ones, and that's just a few.  Over my career, I did a lot of work with the Mak-a-Wish Foundation and donated a lot of money to charity.  I only donated $5 Million, but you only need $5 million to make about one million people happy.  Today Nike has more brand deals and shoes and charity work and branches of products just waiting to happen.  

Last but not least, I have had a good life doing what I love.  

Charales Darwin

By Maddox

I am studding Charales Darwin who is famous for a lot of things. Including the Galapagos Islands and the Galapagos Islands. So, stay tuned for more information about Charales Darwin Charales Darwin and Abraham Lincon were born on February 12, 1809, the same date. Now we are ready for when Darwin was visiting the Galapagos Islands it had a resounding impact on his theory. Now we are ready for Darwin's five-year voyage around the world on HMS Beagle, which ended in the year 1836, provided him with invaluable research that contributed to the development of his theory of evolution and natural selection. Now we are ready for Darwin’s theories, when Darwin formulated his theories after returning from his voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle and published them in 1859. Now I can tell you about what Darwin did in college first he made a club named the Gormet club also known as the Glutton club for the purpose of dining on “birds and beast, which were before not known to the human palate. "Now I can tell you about Darwin's good background in science as he was a protégé of Henlow, the famous Botanist. The Galapagos Islands are iguanas, giant tortoises, and finches. Now we are ready for what he did as a job for a while. After spending the summer of 1825 serving as an apprentice in his father's practice, he entered Britain’s top medical schools the university of Edinburgh. After returning from his trip around the world, Darwin began to suffer from exhaustion (etc.) persist for the rest of his life.

Dr. Seuss

By LR

Today I will talk to you about Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss’s real name is Theodor Seuss Geisel. He was born March 2nd, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He died September 24th, 1991, La Jolla California when he was 87 years old. He died of cancer. His ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean. In 1967 Dr. Seuss’s first wife Helen Palmer died. He was devastated. A year later, in 1968 he married Audrey Stone Diamond. Audrey Stone Diamond is still living today. When he was a child, he was in Boy Scouts. In Boy Scouts he and nine other boys won prizes for things they did. They were all supposed to get a medal but there were only nine medals instead of ten. It turned out he was the one who didn't get a metal. After that he always had stage fright.

He wrote over sixty books for kids including The Five Hundred Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, Horton Hears a Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Cat in The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and The Lorax. He wrote additional books under the name Theo LeSige. He also wrote one book under the name Rosetta Stone. Theodore chose Dr. Seuss because his father wanted him to study the art of medicine, so Doctor, and his middle name was Seuss.

He won two Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, one Peabody award, one Laura Ingles Wilder medal, one Inkpot award, one Pulitzer Prize, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of fame. he also was in the Forbes list of the world's highest paid dead celebrities every year since 2001 and he got a Google doodle.

And that is all I know about Dr. Seuss.

Thank you for listening.

Bye.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

by: Brayden

Today I am going to tell you about the great dancer, Mikhail Baryshnikov. The one who defected from Russia. The one who raised the bar for male ballet dancers. The one who was in so many performances that I cannot say the names of or am not allowed to say.

In his childhood he was born in Riga Latavian SSR on 6-29-1974. He has a strict military father. His mother was the one that introduced him to the theater and ballet. Started ballet when he was 10 and won the divisional prize when he was twelve. He went to 1 school, and it was the Vaganova Academy

Now we are going to talk about his personal life. He has 4 children and 2 of them are in famous movies. He lives in Riga with his wife named Lisa Rineheart. He loves the opera. He has a dog named Gigi and lady yesterday. His net worth is 45 million. His favorite dance is Don Quixote. He defected to Canada on 6-29-1974 with the Bolshi.

Now we are going to talk about Mikhail’s dancing career. After he defected, he danced with the ABT (American Ballet Theater). He learned Goerge Balanches style of movement when at (ABT). He has a vertical jump of 6 ft (insane right)! He was ridiculously small 5,5 so he was not able to tower over a ballet dancer EN point so he did not partner very much.

Now about his acting career. He made his debut on the television in 1977 starring in “The Turning Point” later that year he was the nutcracker for NYBC (Newyork Ballet Company). Then moves onto Baryshnikov on Broadway in 1980. 7 years later in 1985 he stars in “Wight Night". Then he was in the movie called “Dancers.” Then the next year in 1988 he was in “*** in the city”. Then in 2009 he was in a movie called “Place”. And finally, were done with the movies.

Now we are going to talk about some books he has made. He has made a called “Miss ‘O: my life in dance. It is about the ballet teacher for Mikhail Baryshnikov's dance teacher. Now we are going to talk about a book that I have its called “because” and am not going to talk about Because I have in the classroom, and he has more just not enough time.

I loved learning about Mikhail Baryshnikov. He is a great dancer, actor, choreographer and more. He is a superb person on and off the screen. He is someone I look up to. I really want to be like him as a ballet dancer.

The Amazing Life of Aretha Franklin

By: Katelyn/TATO!

I’m going to be talking about Aretha Franklin, otherwise called The Queen of Soul or “Ree” by her family members. Aretha was the daughter of a paster and help fight for civil rights. Aretha even sang with Elton John a week before she passed away! And now let’s start. Let’s start off with important information. Aretha was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1946 Aretha moves to Detroit Michigan. In 1952 her mother dies of a heart attack.1960-1980 Aretha moved to New York, then moves to California with Ken Cunningham (her boyfriend at the time) in 1975 and appears in “Blues Brothers” in 1980. In 2005 she was “Awarded the presidential medal of freedom.” -Nico Medina. On august 16th ,2018 in Detroit Michigan Aretha dies of pancreatic cancer. Next is her Singing Career. In 1956 she releases her first album “Songs of Faith”. In 1960-1987 she signs with Columbia and Atlantic records, recorded “I never loved a man” at Muscle Shoals, “Respect hits number one on the pop and R&B charts.”- Nico Medina, and she got in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Aretha Franklin's bestselling album “Amazing Grace” is released in 1972. Ree was crowned the Queen of Soul in 1967. The Rolling Stones names Aretha the best singer of all time. In 2017 Ree declares that she will be retiring. Last but certainly not least, husbands and kids. Her first marriage to Ted White lasted from 1961-1965. Next, she marries Glynn Turman which lasted from 1978-1984. Aretha the has her first kid, Clarence. Clarence was born on January 28,1955. Her second son’s name is Edward. He was born on august 13 1957. Ted white jr. her third child and is born on February 1964. And her last kid’s name is Kecalf. And his birth date is April 1970.

Annie Jump Cannon

By: Vireo 

 Did you know that Annie Jump Cannon was a scientist who invented the stellar star spectra? I bet you did. Today I Will be talking about her life as if it was a timeline story. Now you might be wondering why she decided to be a scientist or how she died. I am going to tell you my story of Annie Jump Cannon. Childhood Annie was born in Dover, Delaware, on December 11, 1863, and was the oldest of three sisters. She studied the stars with her mother using an old astronomy textbook. School Annie studied physics and astronomy at Wellesley College. Annie graduated in 1884 and went back to Delaware. Her Mother died in 1894 and she went to Radcliffe to have access to a telescope. Cannon learned photography. She took photos of the sun's eclipse. Her photos were published at the 1893 world’s fair.Later years In 1940 she published her first copy of the Stelar Spectra which is a unique way to classify stars used by scientists and can be memorized by saying Oh Be A Fine Girl/Guy Kiss Me (O B A F G K M). She retired in 1940 and died shortly after in Cambridge Massachusetts, April 13, 1940, from scarlet fever at the age of 83. And to wrap this up in a nice bow I will explain why I chose Annie Jump Cannon and why she is so amazing, because this is a report on what makes Annie Jump Cannon so amazing. That is why I chose her too because just like I said Annie Jump Cannon is just a great person in real life. Annie was a normal person just like me and you but still accomplished so many amazing things and I hope you learned more about Annie Jump Cannon.

David Allen Sibley

by Weston

 
David Sibley wrote a series of awesome books about birding and the Sibley guide to trees, which is very strange because he is an American ornithologist. They talk about 800+ bird species of the US and Canada.

 
They talk about birds from Abert's towhees (medium sized red songbird) to zone-tailed hawks in just a few books. Mr. Sibley has also written a preface in a book about his adventures in creating the two field guides to birds of North America. Sibley lives in Concord, Massachusetts with his wife and two sons.

He travels all over the northeastern USA going birding. Also, He is 62 years old, and he was born October 22, 1961. Sibley also travels across North America leading birding tours, and he is an awesome bird painter. Also, he made a 2nd edition to his books the ‘Sibley Birds West’ and ‘Sibley Birds East’ 2016.

 
He is so important, because he has created field guides to North America that help birders with bird identification.

Leap to equality

By Cat

Today I will talk about Misty Copeland an amazing African American ballet dancer

Beginning to present time.

During her childhood, a lot of things happened, good and bad. Born in Kansas City September 10, 1982, her parents were blessed with what later the world would treasure as world famous ballet dancer misty was inspired by Mariah Carey because she was also biracial. Later that year she moved in with her first stepdad two years after she moved in with her stepdad Robert, he was not the nicest he called Mistey's sister the n word just after he hit misty brother with a frying pan three weeks after they found a dead body on their porch. Just after they escaped without Robert knowing.

Just after she moved into a motel then misty joined a community gym her drill teacher told her to join ballet, so she watched a class then the teacher asked her to join she hated it!! She vowed to never do ballet again. A month later she tried ballet again the teacher used her as an example her teacher she stretched her legs and pointed her toes this taught her positions and form after two-three months she was on point just after she realized that she loved ballet and she wanted to do it the rest of her life.

Just after a few months more of practice she started a ballet summer camp at Abt (American ballet theatre) after the camp she was invited to many ballet schools, but her mother did not want her to leave so she said no that she had to stay right with them a day later Cindy her ballet teacher and mentor said that misty should meet her friend He was an attorney he said because your sixteen you can get liberation (being free from your parents ) so she could go to a ballet school after lots of thinking she said yes she would like to be liberated. So, the next day she and her attorney went to court against Mistey's own mother she lost sad but even worse her mother said she can't see Cindy ever again then they were invited to tv shows about all the drama they had to go to a court show misty sat in the audience she cried the entire show she had lost hope after she went back to high school a few months after then her mom let her go after she graduated.

There she was in front of ABT after all her hard work she was there on point after a few months she was noticing that she wasn’t getting the roles she had trained for. She brought it up to the principal the principal said it wasn’t racism she just wasn’t showing enough effort and that she needed to work harder afterwards she got called in with the principal and he said she wasn’t fitting in to her costumes like she used to her thought was that she was eating to many fatty foods she went on a diet and she lost weight but after the first talk with the principal she worked harder a little too hard but she was moved up to principal dancer she had multiple shows coming up and she couldn't miss them so she worked through the pain right before the shows she saw a doctor the results weren't good she had multiple fractures she couldn't dance she had to heal so somebody took her place. She came back almost a year later as a principal dancer just after she starred in Fire Bird, that was the point of her career.

What I've learned from misty Copeland is that you should work through the bad till you get to the good and no matter how mean nasty and rood people are if you have a dream push through till THE END

Sir Lewis Hamilton

  

By Bricean

In this biography you will learn three things about Lewis Hamilton: his childhood, what he does for charity, and his activism. Lewis Hamilton does a lot of things to help people and I think he is really cool. I like Lewis Hamilton because he is a F1 driver and he’s the best driver so far because he has the most F1 wins in the world, and he has a good team. Also, Lewis is the first black person to drive in F1 and he works to break down barriers for other people of color. I hope you learn a lot about Lewis Hamilton. 

Lewis Hamilton got a remote-control car when he was five from his dad. When Lewis was six, he won the adult remote-controlled car national championship. For the next Christmas Lewis got a go-kart. When he got into go-kart racing, he was the only black go-kart racer. He sometimes got bulled because he was black but, Lewis ignored the bulling and let his results speak for him. All of Lewis’s dad’s money went to the go-kart, but it paid off when Lewis won the British kart championship. Three years later Lewis got his spot on the McLaren racing team and he was the youngest driver on the team (Sanchez Vegara 2023). 

 For his debut as a formula one driver Lewis wore a bright yellow helmet to honor his hero, Ayrton Senna. Senna wanted to stand out from the other drivers that were wearing white helmets, and he did that by wearing a yellow helmet (Petrany 2019). Ayrton Senna inspired Lewis to wear more then one helmet and Lewis now wears a lot of helmets that inspire people. For his rookie season Lewis won second in the world drivers’ championship. He raced for McLaren for five years and then he joined the Mercedes-Benz team, the silver arrows. Lewis has then gone on to win seven world titles with Mercedes-Benz including becoming the first black driver to top the formula one rankings. Lewis is the youngest champion ever (Sanchez Vegara 2023). 

 Lewis uses his fame and speaks publicly about environmental concerns, racism, LGBTQ+ rights and he works to break down barriers in motorsports. Lewis switched to a plant-based diet (livekindly.com 2023), and he invested in an electric off road racing series to raise awareness for environmental issues. In Lewis’s household he does not want people to buy plastic and he wants everything to be recyclable. Lewis is making changes and he’s encouraging people around him to do the same thing to save the planet (Katwala 2021). 

Lewis has also set up research to examine the structural reasons for black underrepresentation in motorsports (Heath 2022). Lewis hopes that other black people will someday become engineers, car mechanics, or drivers (Katwala 2021). Sometimes Lewis features the prominent pride flag on the top of his helmet. Lewis has been very vocal about human rights issues (espn.com 2021). F1 has a bigger audience than ever before so Lewis can make a point to more people (Edmondson 2021). 

Winning race after race and title after title, Lewis broke the record for the most formula one triumphs and is considered the best F1 driver in the world. After his seventh world championship, he was knighted, Sir Lewis Hamilton (Sanchez Vegara 2023)! Lewis has a lot of money and a big platform. Lewis is trying to change the world, and his wealth and fame allow him to teach people about stuff that they don’t know. This helps people be more aware and make better choices about the environment and social issues. Lewis is a good person, and we need to help him change the world. 

I hope you learned a lot about Lewis Hamilton!

J.l Gibson

By: Declyn


Gibson was a Canadian dentist and the person who formed a league of hockey, but we today call it the NHL,the National Hockey League. There were only 4 teams at the time. One of them was the Toronto maple Leafs, one of the first hockey teams ever to be founded. They did not have the Stanley cup yet. They also did not wear helmets. All they had was their heads so if you fell, your head could get cracked open. The goalies had plastic face masks so if you got hit in the face the mask could crack.


Canada is like the hockey world. It was where it originated, and it is cold there so you can play pond Hockey. There is only one pro hockey team and that is the Calgary Flames. So, in conclusion, Hockey is super old, historic, very rough, and athletic. You should learn more about hockey, because it is super interesting, like how they make the jerseys, or the skates.

Napoleon's Adventures

By: Xander

I will be telling you all about napoleons adventures throughout his lifetime, I hope you enjoy. Now let us get into it. Napoleon was born in Ajaccio Corsica which makes him Italian. He used to be called Napoleone, but eventually he dropped the “e” and started going by Napoleon Bonaparte. He was born with jaundice which makes your skin look yellow. He went to military school during his childhood, and historians think that is where his inspiration to join the military came from. Napoleon was an artillery officer during the war with Italy on April 2nd, 1796. The medical issues he faced later in life were a constant side-ache, poor sight, and insomnia. All that eventually leads to his death. Napoleon is a cool guy to research and take his point of view and try and predict how he would live. That is all.

Albert Einstein

By Eli

Today, I am going to talk about Albert Einstein, who was a Jewish theoretical physicist and had an interesting life. Albert Einstein was brought into this world on April 14, 1879, in Germany. He had a little siter named Maja and was quite mean to her sometimes. Einstein was the only Jewish person in his school and eventually dropped out of high school.To entertain himself as a child, Albert would build card houses, some of which were fourteen stories high! He played the violin at home, and he enjoyed Mozart's music. He flunked physics in college. When he died, his brain and eyeballs were preserved. Lastly, the first female dentist had the same birthday as Albert.One of Albert's most famous equations is e = mc2, and a lot of people do not actually know what it means. It means, energy is mass times the speed of light squared.So, in conclusion, Albert is a cool person. You should always be learning so you can grow up to be as smart as him, well, almost as smart as him.

Today I will be talking about the life of Florence Griffith Joyner. Florence was an Olympic metal racer! Florence married Al Joyner, the Olympic triple jump champion of 1984, in 1987. She raced most of her life. Florence started racing at age seven. People called her Flo Joe. Florence’s famous outfit is a shimmery purple outfit, with one leg bare and one leg with it on. Florence always had decretive long nails!!


First I will talk about her Career. Florence was an American track and field athlete! Bob Kersee found her working as a bank teller in 1979 and convinced her to train with him at the University of California, Los Angeles. (UCLA). Florence began competitive sprinting at age seven. She chased Jack rabbits for most of the day! Flo Joe continued to work with Bob Kersee, her sprinting coach. Al Joyner is Bobs sprinting name. After breaking her high school records, Florence gave up racing to make money for her family, at age 19.


Second, I am going to talk about her family, and childhood. Florence was born in a big family, and she was the 7th of 11 kids! Flo Joe was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1959. In 1987 Florence married Al Joyner, the Olympic triple jump champion of 1984! She married her sprinting coach, Bob Kersee!


Last I will be talking about Flo Joe’s birth and death. Flo Joe was born December 21st, 1929, and died September 21st, 1989. As you all know, she was born in Los Angeles, California, and died in Los Angeles. Florence died at the age of 38, by a seizure in her sleep!


To wrap all of this presentation up, I am going to talk about my thoughts about Flo Joe. I really liked how brave she was. I love that she started racing at age 7, and she was still doing it at 38! It is so caring that she put her family before herself, at age 19 to make money! That is the end of my Florence Griffith Biography Bistro research project.

But it was just a mess and so the Ivey Island prank became a historical thing. later in his life, he married a women named charity and they had 4 kids. Caroline, Helen, Frances, and poulaine.

P.T. Barnum once bought a museum, and it was his first business success. When he started his circus, he joined someone else and made P.T.
