Franklin Regional Middle School students, through a grant from the FR Panther Foundation, spent part of their Friday drumming to dance music with lasers and blacklights.

Health and physical-education teacher Barbara Haybarger said the fitness drumming program helps students with rhythmic movement, building confidence and learning to collaborate with peers.

“The atmosphere created by lower lighting invites all students to participate freely,” Haybarger said. “Students also designed routines to teach their classmates.”
