9	9	A concurrent RESOLUTION to congratulate SADIE GAMBLE, ELLAFAIR DURANT, RAILYN JOYNER, AND KAYDEN CRISANTI, FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS AT LAURENCE MANNING ACADEMY, ON WINNING THE 2025 CHILDREN'S BOOK CHALLENGE SPONSORED BY BLACK WATER ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE AND THE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Whereas, sponsored by Black River Electric Cooperative and the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina, the Children's Book Challenge invites fourth and fifth grade students from across the State to write and illustrate a children's book that focuses on staying safe around electricity; and Whereas, "Uncle Phil and the Electric Adventure," a book written and illustrated by Sadie Gamble, Ellafair DuRant, Railyn Joyner, and Kayden Crisanti, all fifth grade students at Laurence Manning Academy, were selected as winners of the statewide competition's group division at the school's weekly chapel session; and Whereas, "Uncle Phil and the Electric Adventure" tells the story of a family trip to "New Pork" to visit their Uncle Phil, an electric lineman with Black River Electric. Uncle Phil teaches them about how electricity works and how to stay safe. He also takes them to see "The Statue of Pigerty." The students created the pig statue because they wanted to include something fun to help kinds learn about electricity; and Whereas, the four students split a five hundred dollar prize, and their book will be printed and mailed to elementary schools throughout South Carolina. Laurence Manning Academy Librarian Rebekka Taylor let the students know about the competition and helped them get started. She received a $250 prize. "This was a way that our kids could be creative and put pencil to paper," said Taylor. "They learned all kinds of different things about being a writer and working as a team, as well as the art concepts"; and Whereas, South Carolina's electric cooperatives have been committed to powering rural communities since 1938. This concern for communities and the future of youth has carried forward to today. By inspiring students to learn more about energy, South Carolina's electric cooperatives hope to spark a passion for critical thinking in the minds of tomorrow's leaders; and Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly takes great pleasure in recognizing these fine students of Laurence Manning Academy on their great achievement and the members expect to hear of continued success in the years ahead. Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring: That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate Sadie Gamble, Ellafair DuRant, Railyn Joyner, and Kayden Crisanti, fifth grade students at Laurence Manning Academy, on winning the 2025 Children's Book Challenge sponsored by Black Water Electric Cooperative and the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Laurance Manning Academy. ----XX---
