It’s the first week of August, the time to get a head-start on the 2018-2019 school year. The Blue Jay Shop is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 1-3 and Aug. 6-10.

Located outside the Student Commons, the Blue Jay Shop is Jesuit’s bookstore and a source for Jesuit apparel, gifts, and accessories for students, alumni, parents, fans, friends, and future Blue Jays.

Rising junior Richard Montoya and rising pre-freshman Anthony Guernsey open the doors at the entrance of the Blue Jay Shop as they haul in the last few boxes.
