I, Bella Rotker (4-year senior and creative writing major) have decided it is time we END our campuses deprivation of the giant living blueberry named Gerald we all need and deserve. HOW CAN WE BE AN ART SCHOOL WITH NO MASCOT SUIT!!???

100% of Interlochen Students, Campers, and Alumni are being deprived of a giant Gerald as you read this. All you have to do to end this injustice is sign and share this petition! I have decided this is my legacy project and have been so determined to make this happen ever since seeing the #tuttituesday campaign on the Fennel Music Library's Instagram in January. 

Listen: a giant anthropomorphic blueberry suit in itself is so undeniably campy and whimsical to begin with, so I really think we can open our hearts to the idea that this can be a way to bring us some fun. We are not a sports school but we are a community that can appreciate whimsy and fun!! Gerald can appear at concerts, collage, convocation, commencement, community meetings, MORP, you name it!

I call this project "Gerald's Blue Blast" aka Gerald the Blueberry's Legendary Unveiling Extravaganza, Bringing Laughter And Smiles Today

SIGN NOW to show the Dennison Center what the students want. It's time to end our state of being blueberry-less. We want Gerald! We want Gerald! We want Gerald! This is MODERN ART in the making.

My promise? If we get Gerald I will wear the suit to honors convocation 2024. 

Please sign and share the flyer! You do not need to be a student: all parents, alumni, campers, supporters, and blueberry fans are welcome to support. 

Help us get Gerald!
