LETTER FROM THE STAFF

The journey to create the new and improved Griffin Review was ambitious. Members of the Church Farm community, as well as some new additions, were reunited for the first time in nearly three years. No one seemed to know anyone. The underclassmen had no connections with the upperclassmen at first, but this quickly changed thanks to the culture of Church Farm School, and it was almost as if nothing had happened. COVID cases were among the challenges the school initially faced. Unfortunately, there were many of these cases earlier in the year, but after several months, the campus was COVID-free, and students were able to resume some of their old privileges, such as ordering food and off-campus trips.

The Griffin Review team would like to thank all members of the community who contributed to the magazine in any way, whether it was by submitting essays, photographs, poems, competing in the contests or even just spreading the word to get more submissions.

Working on this magazine and collaborating with community members was an honor. The process of creating this magazine was incredible, as it was inspired by our theme of "Reunion. " We saw a lot of new and familiar faces around campus, and it was great to see everyone so ecstatic to see each other again.
