5 EDITOR’S NOTE DESIGNED BY OLIVIA DUNN JUST REFRAME — it sounds simple. Reframe in a time of crisis. Reframe in times of joy. It’s easy. Just reframe, and everything will fall into place. During the 2020-21 school year, I began to unravel what it meant to adjust the way you think. Shifting your thought habits lends itself to better mental health and habits, which I feel is still critical in 2021-22. We are amidst an intense season of change, and that’s unsettling. There seems to be no clear direction these days. The challenge to reframe is daunting at first, but there is a sense of stability that comes with focusing your mind in a different way. By focusing on the fact that things are not as bad as they seem, life gets easier. Hard things are more manageable, and moving forward becomes an attainable option. If we aim to express our thoughts, feelings and emotions in a more positive perspective, we allow ourselves to view situations differently. This will lead us to gain greater peace of mind. I will be the first to admit that 2021-22 has been tough, but I urge you to reframe. As you flip through the pages in this book, I hope you see that the framework of the school you love is perfectly intact. I hope that by reading this book, you are able to reframe your mind to believe that the goodness of your campus is still present. WRITTEN BY HANNAH KELLUM EDITOR’S NOTE
