Child seated with notebook, smiling, thinking under a creative idea light bulb. Children's Book Challenge for 4th & 5th graders. Sponsored by South Carolina's Electric Cooperatives.

Coastal Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive would like to invite your fourth and fifth-grade stu­dents to write and illus­trate a children’s book about elec­tric ener­gy for an oppor­tu­ni­ty to win cash prizes, to have their books pub­lished & dis­trib­uted through­out the state, and recog­ni­tion at the SC State House!   The Children’s Book Chal­lenge is a great way to engage your stu­dents with a cross-cur­ric­u­lar project that cor­re­lates to state stan­dards.  The 2024–2025 theme is “Stay­ing Safe Around Elec­tric­i­ty.”  The reg­is­tra­tion dead­line to par­tic­i­pate in this chal­lenge is Fri­day, Novem­ber 22, 2024, and the dead­line for book sub­mis­sions to the co-op is Fri­day, Feb­ru­ary 7, 2025.   We will offer blank paper books for the stu­dents or they can even cre­ate an online book through Sto­ryJumper!

Teach­ers are also eli­gi­ble for cash prizes should their student(s) win!

The past year’s win­ners were hon­ored at the S.C. State­house.  Con­grat­u­la­tions to Harp­er Rowe and Ali Chap­man of New­ber­ry Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive, and Eas­t­on Hall of York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive.

Two children hold framed certificates on stone steps, outside a historic building with tall columns. They appear happy and proud.           A person holds a certificate and drawing outside the South Carolina State House, standing on steps with large columns in the background.

We hope that you all will con­sid­er hav­ing your fourth and fifth graders par­tic­i­pate in this book chal­lenge and will share this infor­ma­tion with all of the appro­pri­ate con­tacts through­out the dis­trict.  If you have any ques­tions at all or would like more infor­ma­tion please do not hes­i­tate to reach out to Saman­tha Jones at samantha.jones@coastal.coop or (843) 538‑9434.
