A house RESOLUTION

 

to recognize and honor Harper Rowe, a fifth grade student at Reuben Elementary School in Newberry, and to congratulate her for winning 2024 EnlightenSC Children's Book Challenge, in the group division.

 

Whereas, the contest is an education initiative of Newberry Electric and South Carolina's electric cooperatives, which challenges competition among fourth and fifth grade students to write and illustrate stories that focus on the impact of electricity in their lives; and

 

Whereas, in the fifth grade classroom of Kevin Boozer, a media specialist at Reuben Elementary, students were led to enter the Electric Cooperatives' EnlightenSC Children's Book Challenge; and

 

Whereas, Harper Rowe and Ali Chapman co-authored Phoenix and the Town Power Outage and won the regional competition in the group division. The book was then submitted for the state competition in which they won cash prizes, and their book will be printed and mailed to schools across the State; and

 

Whereas, the electric cooperatives created EnlightenSC to help teachers access energy-related resources and provide opportunities for young people to learn and get excited about energy and electricity; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that Harper Rowe has brought to her school, and the members await her continued achievements. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize Harper Rowe, a fifth grade student at Reuben Elementary School in Newberry, and congratulate her for winning the 2024 EnlightenSC Children's Book Challenge, in the group division.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Harper Rowe.
