First graders Merida Smith, left, and Leah Breton sit in the cab of one of five pieces of equipment brought to Rumford Elementary School on Thursday as part of the school’s community helpers program. Town employee Nathan Cloutier helped students in and out of the cab and showed them how to use the horn. Originally planned as a visit for a first grade class, Public Works Superintendent Dale Roberts said the entire school ended up visiting. Bruce Farrin/Rumford Falls Times
