                   HONORING THE SERVICE OF ANNIE DAYE

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to highlight some of 
our unsung heroes of eastern North Carolina, our schoolbus drivers.
  Mr. Speaker, our schoolbus drivers go above and beyond when it comes 
to getting the job done, and Ms. Annie Daye, at Central Elementary 
School in Jackson, North Carolina, is without exception.
  A native of Northampton County, Ms. Daye has been a schoolbus driver 
for nearly 50 years in the county where she grew up, making a daily 
impact on the lives of her 40 young passengers.
  In addition to being the first person to offer students a warm smile 
and greeting in the morning, she creates a caring, safe environment 
where children can feel secure and understood.
  Mr. Speaker, we need to do all we can to support schoolbus drivers to 
ensure every child across the First Congressional District and America 
has a champion like Ms. Daye.
  Let's tell a schoolbus driver thank you. I thank Ms. Daye for her 
nearly 50 years.
