Middle School Basketball Camp at AAMS is cancelled for today. It will resume tomorrow.
A huge debt of gratitude for the difficult job law enforcement officers take part in every day. Abingdon-Avon Middle School served as the Command Post during the tragic events of the past 18 hours. During that time collaboration, coordination, commitment, training, and leadership were all on display by the Illinois State Police, Fulton County Sheriff’s Department, and other law enforcement, fire, and rescue agencies. We were honored to house these groups in their efforts to end the incident. Our thoughts go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Fulton County Deputy Troy Chisum, who gave his life in service of others.
