Parallax

Parallax is the Ramaz writing club and literary magazine. At meetings we hold creative writing workshops, during which we write, read, and gently critique student poetry and prose. Parallax publishes an annual literary magazine, in addition to a creative writing section in the yearbook. Our magazine has won the gold medal from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for the past four years. In addition, we won the Silver Crown Award this year, an honor earned by only nine high school literary magazines in the country. Parallax also helps to run the annual Celebration of the Arts night; members often read their work aloud for this evening as well. Writers address the club once or twice a year, and members of the club attend public poetry readings. For anyone who loves to write, but never has the time or discipline, Parallax provides a writing home and just the little push you may need.

RamPage

RamPage, the school newspaper, provides a unique opportunity for fun and experience in research and writing. The paper includes articles on school news, opinion pieces, and news on Israel. Members are encouraged to develop article ideas, discuss current events, and improve writing techniques and everyone gets a chance to write an article. Students can also help out with the layout of the paper. Five to seven issues are published each year. RamPage is for anyone interested in journalism, research, layout, or current events.
