Other Duties as Assigned

On most days, Tyler Yelsits works as the popular daytime custodian at Botelle Elementary School. On special days, however, he masquerades as the school’s mascot, Spark the Eagle. These photos, taken on the first day of school, demonstrate that the transformation is not as straightforward as it appears. Happily, for Yelsits at least, the costume comes with a built-in fan.
