Wicomico Co., Md.- A teacher in Wicomico County is bringing Black history into her classroom in a pretty unique way to help her students understand why this month is so important.
Glen Avenue Elementary School’s Aje Bramble wrote and produced a song to celebrate this month. She says she was surprised to learn that most of her 2nd through 5th graders had not even heard of Black history before or that there was a month designated to celebrate it.
That’s why she made a song to teach and inspire her students that they can do anything because of those who have come before them. In the lyrics she name drops black women like Kamala Harris and Shirley Chisholm, and even touches on entertainment figures like Michael Jackson.

SALISBURY, Md. – This week, some students in Wicomico County are being given all they need to stay healthy over winter break.
Today and tomorrow, teachers and staff at Glen Avenue Elementary are providing hundreds of students with “Wrapping You in Wellness” bags. Each student is getting a thermometer, a warm blanket, face masks, hand sanitizer, toothbrushes, information about COVID-19, and more.
The school says they’re doing this because they just wanted to support their students in any way they could during the pandemic.
“This happens when a school full of people are here because they love kids and I can tell you this is what love looks like that these people did this,” said Glen Avenue Elementary School Principal Dr. Kathy Vail.
