Statistically, 1 in 3 homeless people are teens. If LVMS students collect the most jeans in the nation, all students at LVMS will receive a new pair of jeans from Aeropostale.

Contributions can be new or gently used jeans of any brand and any size. Parents may send jeans to school with their children at LVMS and other community members may drop them off outside the main office of the middle school.
