Wanted: Island Park Eagles!

Suit up as our mascot at school events

 

Be the Eagle

Have you ever dreamed of being wildly popular with elementary school kids while wearing a giant eagle head? Now’s your chance! We’re looking for parents, grandparents, and family members to suit up as our Island Park Eagle at school events.

 

No mascot experience (or dance skills!) required—just school spirit and plenty of high-fives. Join our list of Eagle-ready volunteers and we’ll reach out when the next opportunity comes up. No commitment to every event—jump in when you can!
