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!

Tremont High School

I took a few pictures to share with Beverly on Saturday ... unfortunately there was a thunderstorm in the area, so it's more gray and cloudy looking than sunny and pretty!

Our high school is just finishing up an expansion, and this is a shot from the side of the building. Too bad the power lines and pole are in my way! (click on any of these picture for a larger view)



Here is a close up shot of just the new main entrance of the school, which is a portion of the new expanded space.



And since school buses are something that are not familiar in Guangzhou, we took a shot of the Tremont buses to give her an idea of what she will be riding to and from school each day! TJ and Abby will ride the bus along with Beverly, with the middle school/high school being the first stop, and Abby staying on to finish the short ride to the grade school. Our subdivision just about fills up all the seats on the bus (about 60) with a few stops at rural homes between us and the school.



Hopefully this will be helpfor for an early idea of what things look like here! The kids were talking about how different things will be for you ... and I completely understand how that is going to feel since we felt the very same differences during our trip to China! :-)
