                FRANKLIN-VANCE-WARREN OPPORTUNITY, INC.

  (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, we are putting our money 
where our mouth is. The dedicated team at Franklin-Vance-Warren 
Opportunity, Incorporated is shaping our future by ensuring young 
people in northeastern North Carolina are getting off to a good start.
  At the Henderson Head Start Center, I attended Ms. Kearney's class 
and read the first book to first-time students on the first day of 
school. The book was ``First Day Jitters.'' However, there were no 
jitters in her classroom.
  Federal investments such as Head Start and Early Head Start make a 
huge difference. We are preparing young minds for a brighter future, to 
live the American Dream.
  Many thanks to Abdul Sm Rasheed, the executive director; Naima 
Mosley, the Head Start director; Ms. Kearney; and all early childhood 
educators for their unwavering commitment. I also thank Sheriff Curtis 
Brame for letting the kids hold his badge and letting them know that 
they can do anything by putting their minds to it.
  Ms. Mosley, indeed, Head Start rocks.
