Thomasboro Grade School would like to welcome Madeline to TGS!
Hello TGS family!! My name is Miss Sumner and I am so excited to join Thomasboro Grade School as the K-8 music teacher! I am originally from Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to the Champaign area last year. I graduated in 2024 from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX with my Bachelor of Music. I most recently served as the long-term substitute teacher for 3rd grade at TGS.
When not teaching, you can find me reading, spending time with my dog Blu, cooking, or singing with my community choir! I can’t wait to start the school year and help foster a love of music throughout our school community!!

Thomasboro Grade School would like to welcome Laura Birge to TGS!
Hi TGS family! My name is Mrs. Birge. I am so excited to join the TGS family as the 3rd grade teacher. I graduated from Concordia University Wisconsin. I grew up in Buckley, and moved to Paxton when my husband and I were married, where we reside currently with our two daughters. In the summer you can find me working in my yard, or relaxing in the pool with my kids. The rest of the year you can find me running from game to game to watch my daughter play basketball, or assisting the Paxton Buckley Loda Panther Regiment during marching band season as a percussion instructor. I can’t wait to get started with our school year and look forward to being part of the amazing community at TGS.
