Boston 2010 Scholar: Cheyanne Walker Williams

Cheyanne has always dreamed of becoming a country music singer and songwriter. She is excited to put that creativity to work while taking classes in singing and guitar at Med-O-Lark. Cheyanne will also have the opportunity to try horseback riding and ballet.

Boston 2010 Scholar: Carlos Oviedo

Carlos is the youngest child and only boy in his family, so he is looking forward to hanging out with other kids his own age at Med-O-Lark. Carlos has always wanted to learn how to play the guitar and, since there are no music classes at Roxbury Prep, he is excited to try it out this summer!

NYC 2010 Scholar: Ariel Villanueva

Ariel loves to sing whenever and wherever she can: from the hallways and bathrooms at school to even the bus! She has an energetic and enthusiastic personality that enables her to motivate others. Ariel is ready to learn more about music and dance while at camp.

Boston 2010 Scholar: Shavon Ajanee McBynum

Shavon is passionate about dance and abstract art, because she feels that they have no boundaries. She is currently a student at Mother Caroline Academy and believes that Med-O-Lark will help her both socially and personally.
