I am Sylvia Giessinger.  This is my third year teaching preschool at St. John's.  For the past 27 years I have been a preschool teacher at the Park District (Dundee and McHenry) developing my own classes, teacher's aide, and the DRE here at St. John's.  My husband is Deacon Jerry.  We have been married for 34 years and we have been parishioners here for 20 years.  We have three children and four grandchildren.  The most important thing in my life is my Faith.  I go by the motto God, family, and everything else.  My favorite things to do are hiking, biking, swimming, and spending time with my family.
