For Teachers & Parents

Children’s Book Challenge Contest

A person sits with a notebook, advertising a children's book challenge for 4th and 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!

Pow­er out­ages affect every­one and every house­hold. Teach­ing our youth about how the pow­er they enjoy gets to them, how it is restored, and how it is main­tained is vital to the growth of the indus­try.

Please enjoy some of these Teach­able Moments with your stu­dents and chil­dren, and check back often for new mate­r­i­al!
