From the Desk of the Principal:
This week, our DSCS students and staff will honor the Veterans in our community. On Thursday, November 12, we are hosting a parade, Mass, program and meal. It is so important that we teach our students about the brave men and women who have served our country and those who continue to put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. We want our students to understand the sacrifices made by our veterans and military members, recognize their courage and dedication, and develop a deep appreciation for the freedoms we are blessed to enjoy. As a Catholic school, we also want our students to recognize the importance of honoring those who serve others, living out our faith through gratitude, respect, and love of neighbor. I can’t think of a better way to highlight our monthly theme of Made for More Community. We pray that our students will never take these sacrifices for granted, and will always remember those who have answered the call to serve our country.
Yours in Faith, Principal Lynn Sauer

Give Back Contest
Dear DSCS Families,
We are blessed to have an amazing team of educators at Divine Savior Catholic School who go above and beyond each day to make a difference in the lives of our students. They do so much more than teach lessons. They nurture faith, build character, encourage students to grow, and help them become the people God calls them to be.
Catholic Financial Life is offering an opportunity to recognize outstanding Catholic school teachers through its Give Back Contest, and we would love to see one of our DSCS educators nominated!
We encourage you to take a few minutes to nominate a teacher who has made a positive impact on your child or family. Whether it is their dedication, compassion, faith, or the extra care they show their students, this is a wonderful way to let them know how much they are appreciated.
Let's celebrate the incredible educators who make DSCS such a special place to learn and grow!
Thank you for helping us recognize and celebrate our DSCS teachers!
Nominate an Outstanding Catholic School Teacher:
Do you know a Catholic school teacher who goes above and beyond? Now is your chance to recognize their dedication by nominating them for the Give Back Contest!
Catholic school teachers do more than teach. They help shape faith, build character and guide the next generation of students. Yet their impact often goes unrecognized. The Give Back Contest celebrates these dedicated teachers and provides meaningful support to help them continue making a difference in their schools and communities.
Three winning teachers will each receive a $500 cash prize, plus a $4,000 donation to their school.
Complete the form below and submit your nomination by November 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CT.
How it Works:
1. Contest nominations will be accepted until November 30, at 11:59 p.m. CT.
2. The public will be invited to vote for their favorite nominee December 8–10, 2026, right here on our website.
3. The 10 teachers with the most votes will advance to a final review. A panel from Catholic Financial Life will then choose three winners based on:
- Number of votes received
- Impact the teacher has made
- Additional stories and comments shared during voting
Winners:
Winners will be announced on our website and social media during Catholic Schools Week (January 31-February 6, 2027) and featured in the Spring 2027 issue of Radiant Life magazine.

Christmas Program
In planning for the upcoming Christmas Program on Thursday, December 17th, the church doors will open at 5:30pm. This is when you will have access to the church and be able to grab a seat. The door to enter the school, from the church, will first be unlocked at 5:45pm. Please have your 3K-2nd graders use the bathroom before meeting with their teachers. 3rd-8th grade students should meet their teachers in the gym by 6:15pm, unless they are watching the younger students' performance. Then they should wait until the performance is finished before going to the gym. Students should not leave a performance that they are watching until final bows of the performers are complete.
Students should sit with their families during the other performances and should not be unattended in the loft area.
We are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas Program!
