■ The Garber High School bas-
= ketball teams returned to action
Y this past Friday as we began the
second semester portion of our
I schedule.

Schnaithman put up a three-
point attempt at the buzzer,
which did not go in, however
she was fouled on the play and
went to the line for three free
throws. Carly made the first two
but was unable to connect on the
third, which would have tied the
game. In spite of the miss it was
a great effort on Carly's part.
Brooke Kumm led our scoring
with 14 points. She was fol-
lowed by Carly with 13 while
Kell Kimmell had 8, Haley
Steinert and Kendra Coats
added 4 each and Lora Semrad
had 3 points.
In the boys game we posted a
43-37 win over a very good
Morrison team. Our plan going
into the game was to play very
good defense on Morrison's two
best players and our guys did a
very nice job of executing this
plan.
Leading our scoring was Ger-
rett Spears with 12, followed by
Ty Hollaway with 8, Brady
Bond and Chase Vend with 6
each, Austin Powell with 5,
Cody Bond with 4 while Andy
Stowers rounded out our scoring
with 2 points. In the JV boys
game we posted a 56-30 win
over Morrison. Andy Stowers
led the scoring with 14 points.
He was followed by Tyler Zim-
belman with 11, Jared Vend
with 10, Tyson Burpo with 6,
Brandon Kumm and Tyler Maly
with 4 each, while Derek Neef
added 3, while Cody Bond and
Todd Burpo each had 2
points.
Tomorrow (Friday) we will
host Waukomis. It will be
homecoming and the King and
Queen crowning will be at 5:50.
Next week is the Skeltur Tour-
nament at Mark Price Arena in
Enid. Our boys will play Dover
at 9:00 on Monday and the girls
will play Waukomis at 7:40 on
Tuesday.

Garber ‘s Children‘s Christmas
Store Is Another Big Hit
The Children's Christmas Store
held December llth was a huge
success again for the 7th year in
a row. The store was first begun
in 1997 as a community project
sponsored by the Garber United
Methodist Church under the
leadership of then pastor Dawn
Richards. The children are al-
lowed to shop for their parents
and families, and everything is

donations by the community.
Gift wrapping is also available
by volunteers, and the proceeds

Garber Graduate, Karen Buzzard
Achieves National Board
Certification
Karen Buzzard of Hunter,
Oklahoma earned her profes-
sion’s top honor by achieving
National Board Certification in
2004, according to the National
Board for Professional Teaching
Standards (NBPTS).
Buzzard teaches Family &
Consumer Sciences at Ponca
City High School. She has been
a teacher for 20 years and holds
a degree from Oklahoma State
University. She graduated from
Garber High School and has
taught at Pond Creek Hunter,
Waukomis and Medford.
“With teacher quality serving
as the benchmark in determining
a student’s academic success,
the National board congratulates
all teachers who went through
the rigorous National Board
Certification process,” said for-
mer Georgia Gov. Roy E. Bar-
nes, chair of the NBPTS Board
of Directors. “Karen’s achieve-
ment is especially significant
when you consider the powerful
research released this year con-
firming that teachers who earn
this distinction represent the
gold standard in teaching and
are among the most effective
teachers in our nation’s class-
rooms today.”
In recent research on National
Board Certified Teachers
(NBCTs): The CAN Corp.
found that students of NBCTs
did a measurably better job than
other ninth and tenth graders on
year-end math tests in Miami-
Dade County (Fla.) Public
Schools. The study of more than
100,000 student Florida Com-
prehensive Assessment Test
(FCAT) records found that
NBCTs are particularly effective
with students who have special
needs and provides some evi-
dence that African-American
and Hispanic students may also
receive extra benefits.
Arizona State University found
that students of NBCTs outper-
formed their schoolmates on the
Stanford 9 Achievement Test in
almost 75 percent of reading,
math and language arts meas-
ures. On average, these results
were equivalent to students
spending more than an addi-
tional month in the classroom
each year.
The University of Washington
and The Urban Institute found
that children learn more from
NBCTs, with scores on year-end
math and reading tests averag-
ing 7 percent higher than stu-
dents whose teachers attempted
but failed to gain certification
and as much as 15 percent
higher among younger and low-
income students.
National Board Certification is
the highest credential in the
teaching profession. A voluntary
process established by NBPTS,
certification is achieved through
a rigorous performance-based
assessment that takes between
one and three years to complete
and measures what accom-
plished teachers should know
and be able to do. There are
more than 40,000 National
Board certified Teachers na-
tionwide.
“Through National Board Cer-
tified Teachers, states and com-
munities are realizing the enor-
mous benefits of using National
Board Certification as a tool to
attract, rewards and retain
highly accomplished teacher,'’
said NBPTS President Joseph
Agurrebere. “It is important to
understand that the National
Board Certification process not
only identifies accomplished
teachers, but is also a profound
professional development ex-
perience. This is a process that
forces teacher to demonstrate
how their activities, both inside
and outside of the classroom,
improve student achievement.”
All 50 states and more than
500 school districts across the
nation implemented policies and
regulations to recruit, reward
and retain NBCTs.
GJH basketball teams com-
peted in the weather stricken
Covington Tournament last
week. The boys defeated OBA
but lost to Perry 35-33 on Satur-
day. The girls lost to OBA in
the opening game but defeated
Perry. The third game with Cov-
ington is probably a loss due to
the very busy basketball sched-
ule this month. The junior high
teams travel to Pioneer tonight.
Elementary teams will be play-
ing in the Billings Tournament
this week. The girls and boys
teams played their first games
on Tuesday. The tournament
runs through Saturday.
GHS varsity basketball is also
back in action, the boys had a
very good win last Friday night
vs. Morrison. GHS will host
Waukomis this Friday for
homecoming.
Congratulations to homecom-
ing queen candidates Kendra
Coats, Brook Kumm and Haley
Steinert, and to king candidates
Brady Bond, Todd Burpo, and
Gerrett Spears. Coronation cere-
mony will begin at 5:50 prior to
the games.
GHS basketball fans should be
gearing up for next week’s Skel-
tur Tournament. Garber Lady
Wolverines will play Waukomis
on Tuesday at 7:40 in first round
action of the tournament. The
boys will take on Dover at 9:00.
This is the 79th Annual Skeltur
Conference Tournament; I hope
to see you there!
