Today's TBT brings us back to 1952 at Wheaton Junior High School, originally located on the site of the old Longfellow School in the center of Wheaton. It existed at that location from 1935 until 1954, when it moved to a new building at Franklin and Cross Streets. The name of the school eventually changed to Franklin Junior High School. In 1982, Franklin Junior High School became Franklin Middle School. #YourCommunitySchools

Keep physically active. He also showed off some pretty impressive dance moves and had a dance party with the kids! #YourCommunitySchools
