Wheeling To New Vistas With not many places to go on the week- ends, crusing from one end of Main Street to the other has been a favorite pastime for Altavista students for years.

With the newly acquired skating rink and Long John Silver’s we now have more places to enjoy and haunt as a part of our weekend activities. Besides gathering at the usual spots, there are the tennis and basketball courts at the park. Students gather at the parks after school for a few games before going home to tackle homework.
