  • A LEGACY IN LUNCHBOXES West University Elementary roots run deep in this family. Andrea Weems (last name Behrend during teaching days) began her 22-year stint as a second-grade teacher at West University Elementary the same year daughter Lainey Seidel started kindergarten. Lainey’s children now walk those same halls, with eldest daughter Greta graduating last June.

  • Lainey Seidel’s family cherishes a dress her godmother made for her first day of school, a cotton frock with mice carrying crayons running across it. Here she is, at 5, wearing that dress that her four daughters have worn for their kindergarten debuts, too.
