    • My name is Matt Bjostad. I worked in St. Paul Public Schools for 17 years. Over that time, I have worked in many different schools and taught a variety of different grade levels. For the past 9 years, I have taught second grade. This will be my second year teaching second grade at St. Paul Music Academy. Second grade is the best because students take a big step in their learning.

      When I'm not at school, much of my free time is spent chauffeuring my son to his many sporting activities, including hockey, baseball, and golf. When not at one of Henry's sporting events, I like to play softball, go camping, and spend time with my family and friends.

      I am so excited about the school year and getting to know a new community of students and families!

    • BONUS FACT: My wife is also a teacher at St. Paul Music Academy. She is one of the special education teachers.
