We caught up with Melissa Luna Skowronski ‘93 and her daughter, Arianna ‘23 to learn about their Beaumont experience. “I love being able to share Arianna's Beaumont experience with her. It's fun to relive my memories, but seeing her at Beaumont create her own memories, forge her own path, and become her own woman has been amazing to watch!"

There are a lot of teachers that stood out to me: Mrs. Lindstrom - Algebra and Calculus, Mrs. Buynak - Fashion, Sr. Ann - Computer, and Mr. Langa - French
Share your favorite Beaumont tradition
My favorite tradition that Beaumont still does today is the Junior Ring Ceremony, but we called it the Junior Unity Mass. Going to Arianna's this year reminded me of my time at Beaumont and the friendships that I made.
What’s the best part of sharing your Beaumont experience
Besides the education, the best part is being able to share my memories with her. There's a lot of, "When I was at Beaumont..."

Share your favorite Beaumont tradition
Christmas on campus! I only experienced it freshman year before covid, but I enjoyed being able to work with the younger kids and spread some holiday cheer! I hope we can bring it back next year since I’ll be a senior!
What’s the best part of sharing your Beaumont experience
The best part is knowing that I am continuing a legacy. I know my mom is excited that our graduation years both end in 3. So we can look forward to celebrating our reunions together!
My mom and her sisters all went to Beaumont and I have met my mom's friends from Beaumont! The thing that is the coolest is that some of my mom's classmates also have daughters in my grade that I am friends with! This has shown me how connected the Beaumont community is and I am so grateful to be a member.
Favorite Song
Melissa '93
I couldn't remember my favorite song or band, but I'm pretty sure our prom theme song was "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men
Arianna '23
I have a lot of favorite songs and artists, but I think Taylor Swift is my favorite, specifically the 10 minute version of All too well.
Favorite TV Show
Melissa '93
I don't remember watching too much TV, but I think I watched a lot of Seinfeld.
Arianna '23
Gilmore girls!
Favorite Lunch
Melissa '93
I don't remember any of the lunches that we had, but I do remember buying the cookies. They were definitely NOT Chef Bo cookies, which I've had and his are much better!
Arianna '23
I don’t really have a favorite lunch, but I love Chef Bo’s chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies!
