This semester Audubon community schools received a new foreign exchange student, Giovanni Orzes, from Italy. Orzes is from Pedavena, it's on the northeast side of Italy right near Venice and the Alps. His favorite part of coming to the United States was, “L.A. it's awesome! The city is huge, and I love the sea side."
Comparing Italian style to American he said, “here the clothes are more casual dress. Over there it's more of a specific style, like polo’s and jeans." He arrived in the United States at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, but spent all of it in Omaha up until February 13, when he transferred to Audubon. Orzes now stays with Tim, Jan, and Kaitlin Andersen in Audubon, and he is currently in tennis and track. Tim and Jan Andersen were recently given the Audubon Education Association's Friend of Education of the year award for their many years of dedication hosting foreign exchanges students.
