The Inspired Teaching School at 200 Douglas St is getting a new KaBoom! playground, and we need YOUR help!

Greetings from the Inspired Families Association!

The Inspired Families Association (IFA) is the PTA / PTO organization of the Inspired Teaching School, and we are THRILLED to move to our permanent home in the Edgewood community.

We recently got word that our school has been chosen as a site for a brand new KaBoom! playground, and we are looking for volunteers to help make Build Day a success! Our KaBoom! build's sponsor, the National Corporation for National and Community Service, will provide us with the bulk of the day's volunteers, but we are looking for ONE HUNDRED VOLUNTEERS to help out on Build Day. Volunteers do not to be skilled in construction or have any special tools; they just have to be enthusiastic, energetic, willing to work, and have fun, fun, fun! (And be at least 16 years of age).

What are some of the jobs you might do on build day? Mix cement, put together playground equipment, direct volunteers, paint, build benches, help with side projects, and haul mulch... LOTS of mulch :) We also have a limited number of volunteer slots available on the Planning Committee for people who want to help with volunteer recruitment and registration, food, public relations, and logistics.

Join us as an individual or come with an entire team. Ask your company if they will give hours worked credit for volunteering on this day as part of the September 11National Day of Service & Remembrance. We are looking for 100 volunteers for this project, and everyone must be pre-registered.

We’ll provide breakfast, lunch, beverages, and music, along with an opening and special closing ceremony at 2:30PM. The build will happen RAIN or SHINE!

New Playground in Edgewood!

Thanks to Inspired Teaching School, Kaboom and AmeriCorps a new playground is coming to Edgewood next to the Shaed school building.  On September 11, 2014 the National Day of Service hundreds of volunteers will come together and complete a playground, garden and mural to make a new play area for the charter schools and the neighborhood.  After school hours and the weekends the space will be open for the neighborhood to enjoy.  

There will be three prep days as well prior to the build day.  Volunteers are requested so if you can please come out!  All volunteers must be 16 or older and more information will be coming on times for each day.  They need about 20 volunteers for the prep days and 75 volunteers for the build day.  Let me know if you can volunteer and I will keep you in the loop.

Edgewood Home Sales

Here is the updated data on homes for sale in Edgewood. I am using Redfin because it allows you to search by neighborhood, but if you have any other ideas or ways to get listings or open houses please let me know!

Here is the link to the data in Redfin:

Edgewood DC Real Estate

Edgewood has a very diverse housing stock with a wide range of sizes and prices. Right now the most expensive places listed is a 3-bedroom home in Chancellor's Row listed for $799,000 while the least expensive listing is a condo listed at $210,000. It seems that there continues to be a steady number of houses selling across the price ranges and there are quite a few pending sales that have yet to be posted. The overall number of houses in the neighborhood for sale continues to be low as of right now there are less then 14 places listed for sale.  Houses have been going fast as I have attended a few open houses where there were 25-50 people lined up before they even started!  A couple of places have sold before they even went on the market.

There are 56 sales posted for 2014 so far:

Redfin has all recently sold homes posted on their website and linked/copied below:
