Teens for Jeans
In Christian Academy Middle School, part of our job is to train students to improve their leadership skills. Recently, three 8th grade girls came to speak to me about an idea that they had to collect jeans for homeless shelters around the Louisville area. This is called “Teens for Jeans,” they said. Through much planning and leadership on their part, Teens for Jeans was approved and we are beginning today! This collection will continue through Monday, February 9th. Students can bring in jeans and drop them off in a large blue bin in front of the Middle School Office. Jeans, as long as they are gently worn, can be of any size! Our Middle School has a goal of 1,000 jeans! By collecting 1,000 jeans, the school will receive a gift card to help purchase even more clothes to give to those who are in need around the Louisville area. Please ask your student about this great opportunity and encourage him/her to participate in this event! Thank you for all that you do to teach your child about how to help those in need!
Again, the dates for this collection are January 26th-February 9th.
