National Ice Cream Sandwich Day is about where we celebrate our favorite sweet ice cream between any type of cookie dough or the regular brown soft cookie. National Ice Cream Sandwich Day is on August 2nd and it. This event started from New York because the original ice cream sandwich was sold for a penny in 1900 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood. Though they couldn’t find the original owner who made the sandwiches from the pushcart, the idea of it was blooming across the city and country in the summer month and the selling only cost 1 cent. When ice cream sandwiches became popular people made their recipes with different items, like angel food, sponge cakes and shortbreads, then in 1945 someone named Jerry Newberg claimed the modern ice cream sandwich is made with a chocolate wafe. It’s also made because why not enjoy your ice cream in a sandwich form between two other delicious treats, besides it being messy it can be fun to enjoy by holding it in your hand and without the use of cups or spoons. Another thing for ice cream sandwiches is that it’s also called Monaco Bar, Giant Sandwich, Maxibon, Cream Betweeen, Vanilla Slice and many more. So this national day is important because it’s the start and neverending cycle of eating something so cold but sweet and yummy outside in the heat by the pool or just outdoors, and that it’ll always be a favorite item by everyone from the past and till today.

Jalene Cruz, Writer
My name is Jalene Cruz. I am from California. I go to Armijo high school and I'm a senior in 12th grade. My family is Filipino but I was born in the U.S. so I am Filipino-American. I have 2 siblings, 2 dogs and my moms parents that live with us. I’m in Journalism because I wanted to try it out and learn from it, like writing about things or how to write so we can use it for future academics and important things. I’m starting to like being in Journalism because it helps my mind expand to new words and sentences, but also figuring out about myself and what I want to do. I do feel like it's somewhat hard to think of what to come up with but I’m still learning on how I can improve my writing. There are a couple things I like to share about myself, if I could look out my window everyday and see something that is my favorite thing it would be Disneyland. Disneyland is very nice in the day and can be hot but when it's night time, it’s cool with all the colorful and sparkly lights going on and you can hear the music playing from the parades and rides. If a person was next to me, and I was listening to music, it would be mostly old songs like the 80s, 90s, 2000s. Old music and new music is what I like a lot because we shouldn't forget the songs we listen to that have memories coming from it or the past.
My favorite books are “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett, and Junie B. Jones books. There are so many of those books and I read them when I was kid, my mom ordered the whole book set for me too. It was so cool but sadly I gave it away. My book genres I would like to enjoy would be romance, horror, or comedy. With my grammar, the 3 adjectives that describe me are easygoing, bold, and empathetic. 2 nouns that I love are desire and devotion, then 1 verb I enjoy is laugh because with anyone like friends or family I love to laugh and maybe too hard sometimes. Lastly, here are some things that foreshadow me and the interests that might predict my future is that I’m active in my house sometimes, I like to get tasks or chores done with loud music playing in the background or my earphones, and being at school I like to be caring and friendly around others. What's in my name is that I am funny, sweet, caring, chill, and easy to be friends with. That's it about me.
