Making of the MuralBoys and Girls Basketball
Teams are composed of 4th and 5th grade students that desire to learn the game of basketball. We believe team sports should be a teaching and learning experience. We practice twice a week. Games are played against neighboring elementary schools beginning in December and ending in February. John Eaton basketball teams were Regional Champions in 2009 and 2010, placed 2nd place city-wide in 2009 and 2010 and participated in regionals in 2010 and 2011.
