To the Stars - April 2024

Greetings all Earth-bound parents, guardians, families, friends, and students of 1504,

April was a celestial celebration for our students, marked by a spectacular, nearly full eclipse that brought the IMSA community together under the partially-darkened sky. Equipped with eclipse glasses for safe viewing, everyone enjoyed a mid-day filled with themed snacks, refreshing drinks, and stellar tunes.

In a journey beyond our usual boundaries, RC Griffin led an expedition to the Adler Planetarium with IMSA's Astronomy Club, including several of our own stellar minds from 1504. The trip was a universe of learning and discovery.

Back on Earth, the residents of C wing celebrated their late but well-deserved victory in Wing Wars with a pizza party that was out of this world.

This April also brought the challenges and triumphs of PSAT and SAT testing, held in the main gym, where our students demonstrated their academic prowess.

Our boys' volleyball team showed their mettle across two tournaments and numerous games, celebrating victories and learning from hard-fought losses—true warriors of the court.

Amidst these cosmic events, our students navigated the vast universe of higher education during College Day. Pictured below, you’ll find Abo, Alex, Jayram, and Tristen exploring the many booths, each a star charting their own course through the galaxy of possibilities.

In the heart of 1504, the office remained our social galaxy. From lounging with Pikachu to sketching out laughter during games of Pictionary on our sequined pillows, it has been a focal point of joy, tears, celebrations, and studies. 

As we orbit closer to the end of the school year, we reflect on the bright moments we’ve shared and the cosmic bonds we’ve strengthened. Every student's contribution has propelled us closer to the stars, and for that, we are immensely proud.

To infinity and beyond,
The 1504 Hall Team
