We caught up with Sylcilee Barnes '93 and her daughter, Syniah '28! Sylcilee is glad that Syniah made the decision to follow in her footsteps and attend Beaumont, "The challenges and educational experiences at Beaumont will prepare her for success in college and beyond. Beaumont had a positive impact on my life and I know it will do the same for her."
Share your favorite class or teacher:
Sylcilee '93: My favorite teacher was Mrs. Lindstrom who I had for Honors Math Analysis. She was an excellent teacher and I had the pleasure of letting her know that many years later when I ran into her at a grocery store. I thanked her and also let her know that I too became a high school math teacher. My favorite class was Fashion with Mrs. Buynak.
Syniah '28: My favorite teacher is Mr. Boudon because he is a great teacher and he makes learning fun. I always look forward to his class.
Tell us your favorite Beaumont tradition:
Sylcilee '93: My favorite Beaumont tradition was the Big Sis/Lil Sis mentoring program.
Syniah '28: I have only been at Beaumont a little over a month, so I am not quite sure what my favorite Beaumont tradition is just yet. However, I believe it may be Beaumont Day. I have heard so much about it from my peers here at Beaumont and I am looking forward to participating in it.
What’s the best part of having your mom/daughter attend Beaumont:
Sylcilee '93: I am glad Syniah made the decision to follow in my footsteps and attend Beaumont. The challenges and educational experiences at Beaumont will prepare her for success in college and beyond. Beaumont had a positive impact on my life and I know it will do the same for her.
Syniah '28: The best part of having my mom attend Beaumont is we will always have memories to share. My mom has shared many stories with me and I look forward to sharing my experiences with her as well. It is amazing to see that some of the traditions still exist from when she attended. I now get to share with her some of the new traditions that have been implemented since then. I am grateful to be able to have this special bond with my mom.

Favorite lunch to buy at school
Sylcilee '93: I packed a lunch almost every day. Most days it was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with plain Lays chips (or original Fritos) as my main entree. Once in the lunchroom, I would peel apart my sandwich, layer one side with chips, and then put my sandwich back together again. I still make this sandwich now sometimes for work. It is delicious!!!!
