From Guangzhou to Tremont!

Follow Beverly's journey from China to the United States as she joins our family in Tremont for the 2008-09 school year. We'll use this blog to help our friends and family get to know her, and to keep her family updated on what is happening in Tremont!

Help us Welcome Beverly to Tremont!

We are so excited to have the opportunity to host an exchange student this year! Beverly is 15 years old and will be enrolled as a Sophomore at Tremont High School!

She will arrive in Tremont sometime around the middle of August, but travel information is not confirmed yet.

Beverly is from China ... Guangzhou, Guangdong to be exact. We visited Guangzhou during our trip to China and enjoyed our time there.

I'm posting a few pics of Beverly on the side bar of this blog, and I'll be adding new posts with information and pictures about Tremont so she can get to know more about us and share this blog with her family.

Take a minute to leave a comment here and help us welcome Beverly!

We hope you are counting down the days until you arrive on that plane in Chicago. It is a very long flight. We loved your city when we were there, too. Welcome.

Welcome to the USA Beverly! We are the DeHaan's. Our daughter is from Maoming, Guangdong. We stayed in Guangzhou for 2 weeks in December of 2006. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in the Shifu district and loved to eat at 'Eating in Guangzhou.' We'd love to meet you sometime while you're here. You'll love your time with the Scott's. Lisa is a great person!

We're so excited to meet you! I'm Drew (the oldest) ... and I'm sure you'll have plenty of chances to laugh at my pitiful mandarin when I start class in the fall! I just graduated high school, so hopefully I can help out with anything that you're worried about!
