Teaching students to think “green” means more than just recycling paper and plastic. For Amy Yingling, a teacher and leader of the Green Team at Springfield Middle School, and the students on the team, this is the second year they've participated in Aéropostale's Teens for Jeans program. The program collects used jeans for distribution to those who need them. Yingling found about the program through a former student who worked at Aéropostale and knew Yingling ran the Green Team.

Each year, the staff at Springfield Middle School works to reach out to the community to support the students at the Williamsport school. This holiday season, many thanks go to Downsville Ruritan, Washington County Sheriff's Office, the Lions Club, Jeff Magnum from Toys for Tots, Russ Robinson from the Moose Lodge, Ed Kennedy, St. Ann's for the backpacks, and to Marcia Davis and her church. They all help to make Christmas special in Williamsport.
