Allendale CCSD 17, in conjunction with the Wabash County Sheriff's Department, held our annual lockdown safety drill. The faculty, staff, and students did an excellent job in the drill. Afterwards, we had a short assembly in which Sheriff Morgan and Deputy Cheadle spoke with the students and the students were able to meet the newest member of the Sheriff's department, KiKi.

Just a reminder, there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Tuesday, November 8. We will see the students again on Wednesday. Go vote! Thank you.
