2025 Book Creator Contest

Be An Author Month is dedicated to inspiring every student to embrace their creativity, articulate their thoughts, and harness the strength of their voice.

We’re excited to showcase our District-wide Book Creator “Be An Author!” Contest that took place in March, inviting students across all grade levels to tap into their creativity and share their voices through digital storytelling! Whether it’s a personal narrative, an informational book, a comic, or a poetic collection, this contest celebrated the author inside every student.

This initiative is part of our broader district commitment to using Book Creator as a powerful EdTech tool to spark engagement, enhance content understanding, and foster authentic student expression. We believe that when students create, they connect more deeply with their learning—and with each other.

By encouraging students to plan, write, illustrate, and publish their own digital books, we’re not only building literacy and tech skills—we’re building confidence. In Commack Schools, we believe every student has a story to tell.
