Wasatch Elementary students rewarded with trip to Toad's Fun Zone By NANCY VAN VALKENBURG Standard-Examiner staff nvan@standard.net OGDEN — Jaydee Davis loves a good adventure, whether reading one or living one. The Wasatch Elementary School fourth-grader achieved his accelerated reading goal in part by reading "Ender's Game," a science-fiction adventure book set in a hostile outer space, and was rewarded a trip to Toad's Fun Zone, where he played laser tag Wednesday. "What I like about reading is the suspense of wondering what will happen next," said Jaydee, of Ogden. "In 'Ender's Game,' they always wonder when they will get shot down, and it's the same thing in laser tag."
