Its Wolverine Time!!

We want to participate in your success.

• Raising kids who are confident about achieving
  their goals takes time.
• Achieving your own goals is very important. There
  may be only one thing more important than
  achieving your own goals..helping your kids
  achieve theirs . When you have kids you should
  make them your Mona Lisa, your National
  Championship, your 9th Symphony, your Perfect
  Game. If you do, your more stress-free senior
  years will thank you. Very involved, caring but
  tough parenting also happens to be a vital
  ingredient in the positive evolution of our race
  and our communities .
