Hi! My Name is Cindy Filipek Johnson (Ms Filipek). This is my 34th year of teaching for St. Paul Public Schools. I previously taught at Longfellow Humanities Magnet for 25 years and have been at SPMA for the last 7 years. I love teaching and the energy that learning brings. I think 4th graders are awesome~ my favorite grade !!!

My husband and I live in Como Park, we have 3 grown children, and a grandson. In my time off, I love being able to do creative things: write, read, crafts… We have a cabin up North and I unwind there with my family. I have 4 cats and 1 BIG dog-I love animals! Two of my kids (and grandson) live in Duluth so I find myself in Duluth a lot.
