We recently said farewell to Eaton's favorite librarian Elizabeth Fotheringill. Mrs. Fotheringill touched many lives and inspired so many students to love reading. We are excited to announce that Eaton's new library/media center (as a part of the Eaton modernization) will be named The Elizabeth Fotheringill Media Center!  
Reasons To Support Eaton
Eaton stands out as one of the most vibrant and diverse elementary schools in Washington, DC. Our school leaders, Principal Steven Eskay and Assistant Principal Page Dance, along with our hard-working teachers and staff, are dedicated to comprehensive learning models that develop the whole child.  School-wide programs and initiatives make that mission possible and your contributions help support:
  • Full-time art and music programs;
  • Two part-time Enrichment Coordinators;
  • Field trips to complement in-class learning through visits to locations including George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, the Kennedy Center, the National Opera, Homestead Farm, Smithsonian Museums, Peirce Mill, the Building Museum, and Tudor Place Historic House & Garden;
  • Technology and books; and
  • Strategic partnerships (the Washington Ballet and the National Symphony Orchestra).
