In order to raise enough money for a trip, Jonathan Law choir students are raising money.

To do so, cookie dough and pastries are being sold. The pastries are being sold at $14 and the cookie dough (to be prepared independently at home) is being sold at $18. So far, the goods are being sold quickly.

The choir trip will be traveling to Williamsburg, Virginia, later this year. The purpose of this trip is to have Jonathan Law’s choir students participate in a competition, perform, learn teamwork and other valuable life lessons, build bonding experiences, and build and promote their passion for singing.

“The chorus trip is definitely going to cost a lot, but in the long run, it’s worth it,” said freshman Arlene Bangavong. “The cookie and pastry selling has been pretty successful so far, and I’m really confident and excited about the trip.” 

The choir students have so far collected $1,647. 

“I’m pretty sure that the trip will be for four days and three nights,”  sophomore Tiffklasia “T.T.”  Whitaker said. “I can’t wait to sing and hang out with my friends at the museum park and at the beach. This is going to be so fun.”

Other Jonathan Law students are excited for the choir members.

“I’m so, so excited for the choir kids,” junior Alexis Rios said. “I’m definitely going to spread the word about the pastries and cookie dough so that they can get this trip. I really feel that they earned this and can benefit from it. They work so hard all the time, and they definitely deserve this amazing opportunity.”

Sophomore Jazmine Casiano agreed.

“I think that this trip is a pretty great opportunity for the choir students to build on their choir path, and I guess you can say their choir career,” Casiano said. “For sure, this is a good learning experience and I cannot wait to see how the students improve and learned from this trip. They can definitely take something from it and teach other students a thing or two as well. Who knows? Maybe others can become passionate about choir as well and join.”
