  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to 
celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Franklin Special School 
District. For a century this district has served as a shining example 
of quality in public school education.
  FSSD is recognized within the State of Tennessee and nationally for 
excellence. It has received straights A's in the 2005 Tennessee State 
Report Card which is based on student achievement and academic gains. 
The faculty and staff have demonstrated incredible dedication to the 
mission of educating students. That's something we all ought to 
applaud.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the parents and students of the 
FSSD. I also ask my colleagues to join me in sending a special thanks 
to Dr. David Snowden, Director of Schools and the Franklin Special 
School District teachers and staff for educating the leaders of 
tomorrow. We wish them all the best in the years ahead.
