Our athletics booster club has launched a new online apparel store that we'd like to make you aware of. This is a 24/7 store with no "closing date" and we're told items typically ship in a week or so. Purchasing bluejay gear through the boosters directly supports Bondurant-Farrar students and programs, which we greatly appreciate!

The link to the store is included below. For each apparel item you can choose the material color and logo/design. It's a really neat feature that allows for lots of options!
