Cycle 58 Graduation

     It’s finally here. Graduation. After 20 weeks of hard work and determination, Cycle 58 will walk across the stage on June 4 at the Burdick Center in Pryor. The cadets will be honored with the Keynote Speaker, Representative Markwayne Mullin, US District 2.

      These Cadets have mastered self discipline, maximized their potential, and have been molded into leaders.  Their dedication to the Eight Core Components of Thunderbird Challenge Program has helped to lay the foundation for productive and successful lives.  The Cadets have been given the tools to achieve academic excellence, job skills, life coping skills, and leadership and followership.  They were challenged on their physical fitness as well as learning how to care for their personal health and hygiene. Each Cadet will have completed, at the minimum, 40 hours of community service at the time of graduation. They also were given instruction on how to be responsible citizens. 

      While their time at Thunderbird was full of hard work and determination, the Cadets were also treated with some fun trips.  They enjoyed some weekend getaways to Camp Gruber and Camp Christian. They also took in some sporting events with the Tulsa Oilers, Tulsa Drillers, and even a University of Tulsa and Oklahoma State University softball game.  Several more fun trips and activities are still to come over the next couple of weeks.
