WARRIOR RUN FCCLA PARTICIPATES IN JEANS FOR TEENS DRIVE

Over the past couple weeks Warrior Run High School Family and Career Leaders of America (FCCLA) has partnered with Aéropostale and Do Something.org in their Third Annual Teens for Jeans Drive .  The local Warrior Run chapter asked students and faculty members throughout the school to donate in their unused and unwanted jeans.  By the end of a two-week period, Warrior Run High School ’s FCCLA members had accumulated 135 pairs of jeans.  Aéropostale will match the first 100,000 jeans collected and send them to homeless teens in Haiti . They will distribute the remaining jeans to local shelters.  Aéropostale will be holding their Teens for Jeans drive through February 14.  If you have slightly worn jeans you want to donate, drop them off at any Aéropostale store.  For every pair of jeans donated Aéropostale will give you an additional 25% off a new pair of jeans.  If there are any questions, please log onto http://www.dosomething.org/teensforjeans/home, or call any Aéropostale store.
