Anthony Middle School in Manhattan was evacuated this morning after a suspicious note was found in one of the student restrooms.

USD 383 Communications Coordinator Michelle Jones said, “It was a bomb threat basically. We evacuated the building, and the students all evacuated safely to their evacuation location.

During the evacuation the students went to St. Thomas Moore Catholic Church.

Jones reported Riley County police and the school administration swept the building. “About 11 o’clock we decided to cancel school and release students for the rest of the day why we did some more investigating. ” Jones confirmed she expects the students to be in class on Wednesday.
