Several members of the Rumford School Aspirations Committee skipped their usual meeting this week to devote the time to fix up the Rumford Children’s Museum being set up in the former convent for St. John’s School, on Franklin Street. There was painting going on at the site of the new children’s museum and much cleaning. There’s much to be done yet and the committee hopes to have all of their units in place in a couple of months.
