Friends of SDPB Celebrates 12,000th Member

Dena Sievers, a math teacher at Aberdeen’s Holgate Middle School, (not all heroes wear capes!) recently became the 12,000th Friend of SDPB.

“I was the person that you talk about: who listen to NPR and watch PBS, but don’t donate. But public broadcasting is an essential part of how I get my information. In times like now, I trust it. I don’t go without it anymore. I know they’re being honest, giving me both sides, and allowing me to make a decision. I eventually got to the point that it was time for me to contribute!”

Thank you Dena Sievers for your support (and for teaching algebra to middle schoolers!) SDPB wishes Dena a safe school year.
