Open Quote Bubb Elementary has changed a lot since I attended school there, yet still contains the same charm. I attended school there from 1999 to 2005 and could not have asked for a better experience. I remember almost all of my teachers and the life lessons they taught us. Bubb brought the community together in such a magnificent way and has given me amazing memories to cherish. I met my lifelong best friends there and am truly grateful for the school. Anyone in the Mountain View, CA area knows how great of an elementary school Bubb really is. Close Quote
