To the Editor:
This is in response to the recent letter to the editor about LANK (“The Money Train,” Reston Connection, April 27-May 3, 2016). Our school, like every nonprofit organization, has fundraising throughout the year. As we always tell our families there is no contribution too small that it would not warrant our gratitude and, in the case of this year's effort, mention on our train. Just as importantly, our parent volunteers help our "train" run smoothly: board members, parent readers, event volunteers, and book fair members to name a few. Not a day goes by that we do not express our thanks for their time and energy to make LANK the wonderful school it has been for over 50 years. We are proud of all our wonderful families that contribute to our school in whatever way they can and we enjoy recognizing them whenever possible.
