    • The Little Things Are the Big Things

      The Little Things Are the Big Things
      Jan 28 2026
      In this episode of the Public School Podcast, Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer welcome Robbinsdale Elementary paraeducator Toni Sabrowski, the school’s Support Person of the Year. Toni shares what it means to work in a K-2 Life Skills classroom, where small moments become big victories and every milestone is worth celebrating. Drawing from her personal experience as a mother of an autistic son, Toni talks about patience, teamwork, burnout, self-care, and the power of showing up with love and consistency. This heartfelt conversation shines a light on the often unseen heroes of public education and reminds us why paras are the cheerleaders, helpers, and steady presence students need to thrive.

    • Opportunity Is the Word: Guiding Freshmen Toward Their Future

      Opportunity Is the Word: Guiding Freshmen Toward Their Future
      Jan 21 2026

      In this upbeat and thoughtful episode of The Public School Podcast, Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer sit down with Adam Dannenbring, freshman seminar teacher, personal finance instructor, and multi-sport coach at Rapid City Stevens High School.

      Adam walks listeners through what freshman seminar really is and why it may be one of the most important classes a student ever takes. From organization and goal setting to job interviews, mental health, relationships, and real-world readiness, he explains how the course helps students navigate one of the biggest transitions of their lives.

      The conversation also dives into the powerful overlap between classroom teaching and coaching. Adam shares how athletics build discipline, accountability, and confidence, and how public schools create opportunities for students to try new things, discover passions, and learn what does and doesn’t fit them. With humor, honesty, and a few classic dad jokes, Adam reminds us that education is about far more than grades. It’s about opportunity, growth, and preparing students for life beyond high school.

    • Education Was My Way Out: Inside the Heart of McKinney-Vento

      Education Was My Way Out: Inside the Heart of McKinney-Vento
      Jan 14 2026

      Season two of The Public School Podcast opens with one of the most powerful conversations yet. Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer sit down with Anita Deranleau, Rapid City Area Schools’ McKinney-Vento Coordinator, whose work ensures students experiencing housing instability can still show up, belong, and succeed.


      Anita pulls back the curtain on what houselessness really looks like for families in our community and why it often goes unseen. From 6:30 a.m. transportation calls to emergency food runs, clothing closets, and late-afternoon problem-solving, she shares what it takes to remove barriers so students can stay in school, stay connected, and keep hope alive.


      With honesty, compassion, and deep personal insight shaped by her own experience growing up in poverty, Anita explains why stability matters, how trust is built, and why schools must serve the whole child. This episode is emotional, eye-opening, and a powerful reminder that public schools are often the last safety net for families in crisis.
