STANFORD – In the late afternoon on Thursday, November 11, the Olympia School District was made aware of a social media post depicting an Olympia High School student holding a weapon and purportedly making threats against the school. The school administration, in conjunction with the school resource officer, McLean County Sheriff’s Deputy Dillon Hodges, conducted a rapid investigation into the post and determined the threat to not be credible.

The weather could not have been more cooperative for the 45th Annual Armington Park District Pancake and Sausage Breakfast. The sun was bright, the air had a slight autumn chill, the fallen leaves crunched underfoot as one approached the gymnasium entrance, and the enticing aroma of freshly cooked pancakes and breakfast sausage welcomed all comers.
