Wendy Chesney was in tears as emergency personnel waved her past “do not enter” signs as she drove to pick up her child at school Wednesday.
Chesney’s child was one of over 300 students at Rindge Memorial School who were evacuated from the school around lunchtime after a bomb threat written in crayon was found on a bathroom stall. Jaffrey-Rindge School District, along with police and fire personnel, enacted safety protocol and brought the students to the nearby Meeting House while a full-scale investigation was launched.
"It was very scary driving in," said Chesney. "But as soon as I got past the barricades, everything looked very orderly. Nothing was frantic and all the kids were very calm."
