Bay Shore schools unite for first-ever districtwide merch drop

Something special is happening in Bay Shore this week.

For the first time, all eight schools in the district have come together under one roof — or in this case, one website — to launch a communitywide merchandise drop through Branded Together.

The shop went live on Oct. 1, and within hours, orders were pouring in from parents, teachers, staff, and alumni eager to show their Bay Shore pride.

“This mission is worth the browse and shopping experience, because every dollar raised goes directly back to our schools,” said Wendy Bendersky, a longtime Parent Faculty Association volunteer. “I am at a loss for words for how our community has pulled together after day one. Simply put, we are better together.”

The online store features two collections:

• The Heritage Collection — a timeless, varsity-inspired line designed to last.
• The Limited 2025 Drop — a bold, one-time release that won’t be made again.

Together, the offerings give students, parents, faculty, and alumni something new to wear while fueling programs that matter most for Bay Shore kids.

The new model replaces what had previously been scattered, school-by-school fundraisers with one united drive, making it easier for the community to rally around a single big moment of school spirit and local pride.

The shop will remain open until Tuesday, Oct. 8, at midnight. After that, the designs are gone. Click here to see the lineup.
