Tewksbury High freshman Katelyn Wentworth announced recently that her Teens For Jeans campaign collected 128 pairs of jeans for needy families. Katelyn said she, Adam Scopa and Grady Cashman dropped the jeans off at Aeropostale and they were very excited to see Tewksbury getting involved in the drive. Aeropostale gave Katelyn a stack of coupons that she left in the main office of Tewksbury High for anyone who would like one. Katelyn said she wanted to thank everyone who donated to such a great cause. Every pair of jeans that was donated will be given to people of all ages in homeless shelters across America.
