When Whitney Lundberg
When Whitney Lundberg was in preschool the first picture of her on her dad Erik’s shoulders was taken in the hall. Erik, a teacher at Lakeview, and daughter Whitney have continued that tradition, and joked that we would do this until she graduated in her gown. When Whitney’s sister Avery started school she was added to the photo. Now Whitney is a sophomore and Avery is in 5th grade. Two more years to go and Erik is sure he will still be able to lift her up. Photo by Karen Breg
