Tommy Brown, one of nearly 225 students at Diamond Canyon
School in Anthem who met or exceeded the Coyote Reading
Club’s goal set for their grade level, throws a
ball at a dunk tank target hoping to drop Principal
Paul Stanton into the drink. Eight to 10 teachers also
took turns on the wet seat. Club organizers challenged
more than half the student body who joined the club
to read between 40 hours and 90 hours–depending
on the grade level–on their own during the school
year. Brown was challenged to read 40 hours, but whizzed
through enough pages to rack up 60 hours. Other top
finishers included fourth grader Syeed Sweis (250 hours),
sixth grader Samanntha Wood (230 hours), kindergartner
Mason Smith (210 hours), first grader Malena Lee (190
hours) and fourth grader Kristen Wunder (190 hours).
Students had two chances each to dunk Stanton or a teacher
while classmates cheered them on. The activity was held
May 24, the last day of school. Readers also earned
school money and rewards from local businesses throughout
the year for every 10 hours of reading logged. (Click
