About the Contributors
Amelia Berkowitz ’27, Social Media Manager
Social Media Manager Amelia Berkowitz ’27 is always in motion, whether it’s hitting a mean backhand or driving community change. Recently named president of the Connecticut branch of the nonprofit Project Happy Feet, Berkowitz’s drive for teamwork helps lead initiatives to donate used sports equipment to communities in need.
“Last year, we received a lot of equipment donations and donated them to another school in Connecticut,” Berkowitz said. “It felt good to be making a difference in someone else’s life.”
Teamwork is Berkowitz’s speciality, and while she plays a sport at Staples, she has found a lot of it through Inklings and through the role of social media manager.
“Tennis is an individual sport,” Berkowitz said. “That’s why it’s been amazing to find a sense of community through Staples.”

“I love getting to dance with all my friends and having a place to share my creativity,” Ratcliffe said.
Ratcliffe has also always loved writing. So she combined that with her love of being creative, and knew Inklings was the place for her.
“I think that no matter what you’re doing in Inklings you definitely have a role,” she said. I think it’s really interesting getting to work together to create something awesome.”
