It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our school family members. Mrs Debbie Heern, worked in our kitchen for over 25 years and drove a bus for our district for 10 years. She will be greatly missed, and our small school will not be the same without her. She has went through many trials in life, yet always had a smile on her face. She was willing to help anyone that needed it, especially the many students that she served in our school. She donated much of her free time in helping fundraise for St Judes. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family during this time. Debbie will always be a Thompsonville Tiger, and we know she will be watching down on us.

As we say goodbye to our students for the summer and this crazy school year, we want to thank all of the parents/guardians, and families that worked with us this difficult year.
This year has been the most difficult year this school and its employees have seen in a generation.
We want everyone to know that each decision that was made this year was in the best interest of the students that go to Thompsonville.
We understand that not everyone agreed with our decisions, but we want to thank you for still supporting the school through this year.
We want to also thank the students this year. We know the students suffered more than anyone else this year, but the majority of them still came to school every day and made the best of a bad situation. Thank You!!
Enjoy Your Summer!! You have earned it!!
We will have our plan for next year out in the next couple of weeks. I will tell you that August 10th will be the first day for student attendance.

Kenny and Denise Smith is this weeks Where Are They Now. Kenny is a 1989 graduate and Denise graduated in 1991. Thompsonville Schools is proud of you and your accomplishments.
“We are still right here, in Thompsonville.” Kenny Smith, graduated in 1989. Denise Shew Smith graduated in 1991. Kenny participated in basketball, cross country and track. Denise participated in cheerleading, FHA, yearbook staff. “We would both agree that our fondest memory was having discipline and respect instilled in us from our parents, teachers, coaches and administration figures. Self-respect and respect for others seems to have fallen to the wayside.” Kenny grew up farming. He attended Rend Lake College while working for long time natives of Thompsonville, Ernie and David Payne. They married in 1991. In 1994, Kenny went to work at General/Continental Tire until 2005. In 2005, he had an opportunity to return to his passion, farming. He was hired by long time natives, Gene and Leon McClerren, INDIAN TRAIL FARMS, a family operation right here in Thompsonville. Gene has since passed. In 2019, Kenny, became fortunate enough to take over management of this farm with the help and continued guidance of Leon. A responsibility he has taken with pride. Serving as Cave Township Supervisor, Denise is also right here within our school, driving a bus. She also manages the farm office. “We would both say our greatest accomplishments are our children Kenise, 26 and Kolby, 20. Our greatest blessing is our families. Our greatest future will be grandchildren and farming!
Any student who is attending summer school and needs to ride the bus should contact the office as soon as possible!
