The Lane Tech Spirit Store is now open!

It is being operated by the Lane Tech PTSO. Our regular store hours are Fridays from 11:00 to 1:00, and will be open during the Open House on November 4 and for Report Card Pickup on November 13. We accept cash only at this time. We are working towards accepting credit/debit cards for your convenience. We are also creating an online store for orders to be shipped. We will display online everything we carry in the store so you can see what is available and the price. 

Best of all, the store proceeds go to Lane PTSO and back to the school.

Here are some popular items and their prices. Most clothes are green, gold, and/or gray with "Lane Tech" screenprinted.

Lane Tech "College Prep" Hoodies $35.00
Lane Tech Indian Head Hoodies $25.00
Lane Tech Sweatpants $ 25.00
Lane Tech T-Shirts $10

We also have Lane Tech branded tank tops, water bottles, backpacks and head bands. We are ordering more of most items and will have a few new items that students have requested like socks, basketball shorts and new styles of sweatpants. Let us know if there is something you want to see us carry. 

Want to volunteer to help in the store? Let us know -- and we are looking for graphic design help! email us at spiritstore@lanetechptso.org.
