Alta Vista Elementary School students put on their thinking caps Dec. 12 and headed outside for the second annual Reading Street event. Sidewalks were named for well-known authors such as "Dr. Seuss Street" and "Roald Dahl Drive" as students curled up with their blankets and books for a day of reading.
