Get groovy at the Disco Prom fundraiser for Whittell 7th-9th grade NY/Boston trip

LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – In April 2025, students from George Whittell in grades 7-9 will embark on the trip of a lifetime to Boston and New York. This Spring Break trip is being organized by Mrs. Heather Lamb, Whittell's Mathematics teacher, in conjunction with Global Travel Alliance. This journey will offer students the chance to explore U.S. history, cultural landmarks, and iconic sites while connecting classroom lessons to real-world experiences.

To help offset travel and lodging costs for the students, the Whittell Boosters are hosting an exciting Disco Prom fundraiser on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at Tahoe Blue Estate from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Guests will be encouraged to dress in their best disco attire for a fun-filled evening featuring appetizers sponsored by Fox and Hound Smokehouse Grill and Bar, a silent and live auction, and a shuttle service with designated pick-up locations to transport guests to the venue. Beverages will be sponsored by Tepozan Tequila and Tahoe Blue Vodka. Babysitting services will also be available for an additional fee, with limited spaces offered with full details provided on the event ticketing website.

Tickets for the Disco Prom and donation opportunities are now available at https://www.whittellboosters.com/#h.o3n49pbnl79i.

“This trip is an incredible opportunity for our students to broaden their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of American history and culture,” said a representative from the Whittell Boosters. “We’re thrilled to bring the community together for a night of disco fun while supporting our kids’ educational journey.”

Highlights of the trip include experiencing Boston on Patriots’ Day, where students will cheer on marathoners from the MIT campus and tour iconic sites such as the Freedom Trail, USS Constitution, and the Museum of Fine Arts. They’ll also enjoy college visits, including a tour of Harvard University. In New York City, students will visit landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Ellis Island, and the 9/11 Memorial, as well as attend a Broadway show and immerse themselves in the vibrant energy of the Big Apple.
