March 19th, 2025 – Islip High School’s Business Leadership and Commerce Club students recently collected and donated denim jeans to a local shelter. For the 13th consecutive year, Islip High School students have participated in the Town of Islip Youth Bureau Teens for Jean Drive, an initiative dedicated to providing clothing for those in need. Led by Islip High School’s Renee Clock, students collected 160 pair of jeans.

In recent years, the jean drive has faced challenges due to the rising popularity of sweatpants, but the club’s dedication ensured a successful collection effort this year.

“Year after year, students and teachers work together supporting the Town’s School Supply Drive, Prom Dress Boutique and Teens for Jeans campaigns, initiatives that our residents have come to rely on. We are truly appreciative of the partnerships we have forged with our local school districts and their dedicated staff,” said Islip Town Supervisor, Angie Carpenter.
