Mrs. Birge teaches kindergarten at Middletown Prairie! This will be her 2nd year in the district teaching kindergarten. She taught for 14 years in Champaign prior to coming to Mahomet. 

Mrs. Birge currently lives in Mahomet with her husband, Dennis, and their 4 kids, Cainan, Kiera, Ellie and Ivan and two dogs, Jewel and Chloe. Cainan will be a senior at Mahomet-Seymour High School. He enjoys playing baseball, making music, and working hard at his job with the Forest Preserve. Kiera will be a freshman at Mahomet-Seymour High School. She loves to bake, do hair and makeup, and shop! Ellie will be in 4th grade at Lincoln Trail. She enjoys cheerleading, playing the piano, and making up games with her little brother. Ivan will be in 1st grade at Middletown. He loves to play with Ellie, build with legos, and play baseball. Jewel and Chloe are both teddy bear puppies. Jewel is 3 and loves to cuddle, watch the birds, and chase rabbits. Chloe is 2 and loves to play catch, run around the yard, and soak up the sun. 

Mrs. Birge has enjoyed her summer spending lots of time with her family and friends. Her favorite thing to do is sip coffee in her sunroom and listen to all the sounds of nature. She also enjoys shopping (especially at Target), organizing, playing games with her family, and watching shows and movies. 

Mrs. Birge’s first year at Middletown was as a remote teacher. She is very excited to have kids in her classroom again to have fun, learn and grow! She can’t wait to meet her amazing new students and see some of her former students again in the hallway!!!
