The 10th anniversary of Columbia's Good Shepherd Lutheran School was celebrated March 17 with a gala dinner and auction event. More than $30,000 was raised to support the school's financial operations. The school, which is affiliated with Trinity Lutheran Church, had 87 students this school year. ¦ Kellie Kotraba

Cornerstone committee members of Good Shepherd Lutheran School hosted a gala dinner and auction to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the school.

The event held March 17 included silent and live auction items. Participants also placed bids for their turn at choosing a favorite dessert.

Over $30,000 was raised to support the financial operations of the school. For the past two years, Principal Craig Busseau has been leading the flock. All supporters of the school enjoyed celebrating the past 10 years of Shepherding God’s Flock.
