Bartholomew Lush was hired by a committee headed by Superintendent Madeline Meyer last Friday.
Principal Kevin Madden left his post at the George R. Martin Elementary School this summer, but his position didn't stay vacant for long. A hiring committee made a swift move to find his replacement.

Martin Elementary School hosted its Spring Fling with lots of fun games for all ages.
It takes a team of volunteers to put together a successful event. Coordinators Darlene Sicard and Donna Ledoux pulled all those pieces together to produce a fun event for the families to enjoy at Martin Elementary School on Saturday. They used volunteers of all ages to run the games and other stations. The dunk tank is such a popular station each year, the students have to earn their spot to get wet. The Seekonk fire department was on hand with its traveling safety house. This house is shared by those in the Fall River District 3 and was purchased with S.A.F.E.(Student Awareness of Fire Education) grant funding. Lt Martin Ulak used the fire house to teach fire prevention and fire survival in an interactive manner. Most of the children …
