About Our Show

Take a trip back in time, thousands of years ago, when Orange County was inhabited by Native Americans from the Tongva and Acjachemen tribes. You'll learn about many important people, each of whom have shaped Orange County into what it is today. You'll likely recognize many of these names, such as James Irvine, Myford Irvine, Columbus Tustin, Andrew Glassel and Walt Disney.

"This Land is Your Land"

This land is your land, this land is my land
From San Clemente to Santa Ana
From Dana Point Harbor to the Saddleback Valley
This land was made for you and me

Just take the freeway, or take the toll road
You'll pass the beaches and feel the wind blow
You'll see the sun shine, all the year round
This land was made for you and me

There are so many places to visit
Like Discovery Center or UC Irvine
The Bower's Museum or Knott's Berry Farm
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land, this land is my land
From the San Juan Mission to South Coast Plaza
From Disneyland to Angel's Stadium
Orange County was made for you and me!

Thank you for Joining Us!

We hope you enjoyed our third grade play and learned a little about the history of Orange County.

The children have worked so hard to learn their lines and the songs over the past few weeks, and were so excited to perform for their families. Be sure to let them know how proud you are of them!

Special thanks to Armi Abiera for helping to make our props this year. The third grade team greatly appreciates your help!
