Happy Thanksgiving, Lane families!
We hope you enjoy time with friends and family over this long holiday weekend (and lots of good food, of course).

This e-mail is to let you know about two important week-long events we will have at Lane when we return next week: National Inclusive Schools Week and our annual Book Fair.
National Inclusive Schools Week, held each year during the first full week in December, recognizes the progress that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population.
This year’s Inclusive Schools Week theme is Charting the Course for Inclusive Schools. The theme gives us the opportunity to think about our current philosophies and practices regarding inclusion and to plan for “next steps” in the process. At Lane, we will have a pep rally, special activities in P.E. classes, and an inclusion-themed spirit day for each day of the week next week. Here is the schedule for spirit days. We hope your child will participate!

Next week is also Book Fair week! Here’s what’s happening throughout the week:
-
December 2nd, 3rd, and 4th – Student Preview Days (no purchasing during the school day): Students get a chance to look at fair items and create wish lists.
-
December 4th (5 to 8 p.m.) – Family Night! Purchasing begins for students and families.
-
December 5th and 6th – Student Purchasing Days. Students will have a chance to purchase items during the school day at a scheduled time.

Note that the in-school fair ends at 3 p.m. on Friday, December 6th. Family members may also come in during the day on Thursday and Friday to purchase items. We accept cash, credit cards, checks (payable to Lane PTA), and we have a new digital payment option: eWallet. Now your student can shop the Fair cash-free! Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and to create an account.
Our Online Book Fair has already begun and will continue through Wednesday, December 4th. Online purchases will be sent directly to your home! Just visit the fair website to shop.
Proceeds from this event support the Lane Library, which is used by all students and teachers at Lane, and the larger Lane community as well. We’re so excited about the fair! Questions? Please contact Sue Chozick, Librarian, schozick@fcps.edu. Thank you for your support!
We look forward to seeing you when school reopens on Monday morning at the regular time!
