Jettie’s Story
This is a lovely day.
A lovely day
in the meadow -
on the grass -
in the sky -
on top of the world
in the
whole gigantic world.

Pack Wisdom
I We can learn from the wolf when forming a team.
And the Pack of Green Bay took note, so it seems.
I First, find a smart wolf and follow his plan.
A Wolf named Ron is our Pack’s thinkin’ man.
I The leader of the pack must be respected by all.
Coach Mike gets respect and not just ‘cause he’s tall.
' Defined roles must be assumed and performed without grudges.
I All our teammates are friends and not one of them judges.
* When stalking their prey, wolves pick out the weak.
I With our coaches' game plan, it’s the weak link they seek.

Is anyone listening, or only us?
Maybe if you're not afraid, I can teach you to understand.
Don’t be afraid to cause a fuss. Open discussion will only bring trust.
Frustration is created when no one talks. I’m always here.
There’s always a walk.
