FM Lady Thunder is focused on making a positive difference in the lives of our program participants and citizens of our local communities.

  

FM Lady Thunder will attempt to teach your daughter the value of hard work, commitment, focus, preparation and dedication for the benefit of a common cause.  Equally as important, she must be willing to actively participate in the range of community service initiatives organized throughout the course of the year.
