Congratulations on your child's acceptance to Lane Tech and welcome to our community. Friends of Lane is here to provide information and make the transition easier for you and your child. Click HERE to join Friends of Lane and receive weekly updates, monthly newsletters and stay informed about events at Lane. 

Lane Tech is looking to take the next step in the evolution of our program to create a new state-of-the-art STEAM learning hub called the ThinkLab. Imagine an idea space located directly across from our Maker's Lab, focused on hands-on learning and collaboration. Friends of Lane has received a Milestone gift of $100,000 to launch the ThinkLab campaign. Click HERE for more information and learn how you can participate.

You can order all your Lane gear online directly from us, and have the choice to have it shipped or pick it up at the store. Parent volunteers will come in once a week to fill and ship orders. Unwashed and undamaged items purchased from our online store can also now be exchanged in the Friend of Lane store inside Lane. The Spirit Store is open every Friday during lunch periods and during special dates. Our weekly eblasts and monthly newsletters will announce the dates ahead of time. Look for the ONLINE STORE in the menu bar or click HERE 

Friends of Lane is launching a new program to help achieve our fundraising goal, but also encourage members of our broader community to partner with us toward our vision. Beginning January, 2018, businesses and organizations will have the opportunity to publicly display their support of Lane through a street banner program on Western and Addison between Roscoe and Rockwell Streets. Your tax deductible donation of $2,500 qualifies you for 12 consecutive months of advertising on one of the beautiful designed banners shown above. Your logo will be prominently displayed and each banner will also display one of the following words which you can select: Tradition, Excellence or Ingenuity.  Literally thousands of cars, buses and pedestrians travel past Lane on a daily basis. The banners will provide wonderful exposure for your business and also a statement of support for Lane Tech, our students, our history and the institution of public education. Every dollar raised by Friends of Lane is invested back into the school. In this time when the concept of public education for all is in jeopardy, we hope you will join us in this important display of support.
