As we ushered in the new year, the chilly weather served as a cozy backdrop to the beginning of our academic journey for the second semester. The first weeks were filled with Intersession classes, providing new opportunities of educational exploration with the students' unique coursework. Despite the frosty temperatures, our collective spirit warmed the campus as they navigated through their classwork, bundled up in cozy blankets, and sipped on comforting apple cider.
During the snow-ins, the main building hosted games, movies, open gym, and of course snacks! Intersession courses went well and were a great way to ease into the semester.

In the midst of our academic pursuits, these recent weeks have unfolded as a whirlwind of activity, particularly with the enthusiastic preparation of our students for the upcoming Clash of the Halls event!
This annual extravaganza is not just a competition but a spirited celebration, where our Titans seize the opportunity to engage in friendly rivalry with other halls. The event unfolds through a series of thrilling competitions, including Movie Night, Game Show, Talent Show, and Pep Rally, each brimming with creativity and camaraderie.
As participants showcase their talents and teamwork, each event accrues points, creating an exhilarating atmosphere as the competition unfolds. The cumulative points earned by each hall will determine the ultimate victor, the hall that reigns supreme in this clash of skills and school spirit.
For the current Clash season, Hall 1504 has chosen gray as its color, embracing the theme of "Dystopia" with an air of anticipation and creativity. The excitement is palpable as the members of 1504 eagerly look forward to representing their hall in this thrilling and vibrant competition, ready to leave an indelible mark on Clash of the Halls 2024!
1504 RCs and hall parents (led by Mrs. Lidia Granger) are looking for donations for our post-Clash party. Please email her at lidiaagranger@gmail.com or the 1504 staff at 04staff@imsa.edu if you would like to donate food/snacks.

We wrapped up our January with a Dodgeball night hosted by RSLs Ayan and Jake. The students played music and engaged in some friendly rivalry. They played several variations of dodgeball, with different rules and teams to keep the competition engaging and entertaining.
