Aide Schiessl - Head Teacher Aide has been involved with Here Wee Grow! since her son Kenny was a student in the school’s very first year. Later her daughter Amanda also attended HWG. Aide has been active in teaching for four years. Mrs. Schiessl was raised in a small Arizona town bordering Mexico, and is the oldest of the six children in her family. She and her husband Ken live in Enfield with their children Kenny (18), who is attending Asnuntuck Community College, Amanda (10) and William (21).. As her children have grown, she has been involved with their activities as a Cub Scout leader, school volunteer and confirmation and CCD teacher at Holy Family Church where she is a member. She enjoys camping, hiking, travel and family fun, as well as gardening and crafts. Her children have inherited her love of reading.
