Event 5. February 5, 2026 – State of the District Address – I attended the annual State of the District address hosted by the Cupertino Union School District. In addition to the wealth of additional information on the District’s condition and performance, invitees were provided with tours of multiple schools. As part of that tour, I was taken to Lincoln and Muir (CLIP). It was especially endearing to return to my kindergarten classroom at Lincoln Elementary School after more than 40 years. The desks have changed, and the color scheme is updated, but the tables are still the same!
