By working together as a community, we can instill a sense of pride in Orange County's youth about where they came from, where they are going, and how they can learn from the past to make a better future. This innovative vision calls for students from across Orange County to come together as neighbors and see that they are part of, and contributors to, something larger than themselves, their families, and local neighborhoods. 29A -4 The Gift of History is a year -long program that is intended to teach Orange County's third graders that history is alive and all around them.
