Intra-District Council, IDC is an organization comprised of the representatives of the five schools of the
Fremont Union High School District. Each school is represented by their ASB President and two IDC representatives.
In addition, An IDC President, the Student Board Member, and the Advisor sit on this council. IDC meets twice a month usually the first and third Mondays. The goal of IDC is to improve relations between schools, to lessen some of the rivalry that
sports create.  IDC also works to implement some of the programs that students want.  Any problems that the school’s
ASs or the students themselves have are discussed at IDC meetings. 

3/18/08 Student Board Report by JingJing Xia, Cupertino High School Senior

CUPERTINO HIGH SCHOOL
Last Friday, Cupertino had their Spring Sports Rally and the theme was Food Groups. That night, Cupertino also hosted the IDC dance and over 500 students attended. This week is Cupertino’s Powderpuff Tournament and it’s the school’s first year in doing so. The spring musical Seussical will begin this Thursday night at 7:30PM. Seussical is a Broadway musical based on the collection of Dr. Seuss books, hence – it’s name. The overall plotline follows one of Dr. Seuss’s most famous characters, Horton, which is just in the time for the new Blockbuster movie that came out last weekend. So if your children enjoyed the Jim Carrey film then they’ll probably enjoy this too! Last week, a guest speaker from the Lost Boys of Sudan came to Cupertino and gave several presentations throughout the day (See first slideshow photo). Student packed the auditorium each period to listen to his story of struggles during the Second Sudanese Civil War. He talked about starting out when he was five years old and walking with thousands of other children in Africa to escape the war. They walked, literally just walked and looked for shelter, for several years until finding a refugee camp. There, the lucky ones were sent to an American foster family for one month before having to depend on themselves in America. The guest speaker was one of those boys and his presentation was a way to bring awareness on the current Darfur situation as well as teach students that in the end they must depend on themselves and their education. It was a superb presentation that moved many students. Finally, Cupertino would like to congratulate their Robotics team for coming in 4th place out of 48 in the Silicon Valley Regional.
