Hi Mr. Poppy - What else do you remember about IslandWood? Do you still "Take what you need and eat what you take?"

i remember that my lodge was the Birds Nest lodge and my study group instructors were Eyton(i don't know if i spelled it right) and Mimi.

Also, it was when Green wood Elementary went there.

One more thing, when i was there i saw a dead shrew...and it was right after breakfast!

p.s. the kitchen guy was named Sal I think

Sweet you could tell it was a shrew and not a mouse!

Hey Eytan is happy you remember him. Wants to know, are you still doing any of the make-a-difference stuff you did at IslandWood?
