Apollo-Ridge Elementary School was evacuated Wednesday as officers responded to a bomb threat, according to a statement from district Superintendent Matthew Curci.

The threat was found in the school Wednesday morning, Curci said. Officials notified law enforcement and took students to the nearby high school while police and bomb dogs searched the building.

Students returned to school once it was determined there was no bomb.

Curci thanked the district’s cafeteria staff, who worked together to feed lunch to more than 1,150 students at the high school during the search.

Classes will go on as normal Thursday.
