"All the cool kids wear a mask. All the cool kids wear a mask. When you're walking down the street or in class, all the cool kids wear a mask," she sings.
April, who is also a musician, singer, songwriter and DJ, teaches music at Griggs EC/PK/K.
"Going back to school, I already knew my students wouldn't wear the masks correctly. And so I had to come up with a way to make it cool for them to want to wear masks," she said.
"I knew whatever I wanted to make, I didn't want to make it a typical cheesy kids song," April continued. "I wanted to make a bop that even adults could jam out to. So I took all my knowledge and the vision and created the song."
You'll notice a Houston vibe throughout the song, from the music to the video, which was shot in front of the various murals around downtown Houston.

But most important, April said, "I hope it's a good reminder for people and kids alike, and I hope that people can also jam out."
April also sings part of the song in Spanish.
Outside of the classroom, she has a YouTube page, where she said the goal is to inspire other teachers to be their best selves.
