Join the many families already registered to track down Director J's during our Summer I Spy adventure. Watch for new weekly clues on Tuesdays, find Director J and take notes in your log. What a great way to have fun reading and writing this summer!

Here is this week's clue:

                        "Director J will see so much while traveling the globe
                         People with no home or food, or in need of some new clothes
                         A community needs resources to help others in need
                        But you'll have to do some shopping before you can proceed.
                        Please bring a bottle of shampoo or a roll of paper towels to share
                       Then head to 126 East Main Street, to let those folks know you care.
                       They'll be happy to take your donation and give you a big thank you!
                       For helping others who need our help, that's what Pawling families do."
