[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't be surprised to see Shepherd becoming more of a yoga & organic milk kinda school within the next 3-4 years or so, given some of the demographic shifts you're seeing in SP as dying/dead octogenerians sell to upper-middle class real-estate bubble vintage Petworth transplants. I say this squarely looking in the mirror. I suspect Shepherd will (less and less) quietly become one of the most desired DCPS locations in the city.

Actually, I believe yoga was offered in aftercare during the 2013-2014 school year--that instructor apparently left, which is why it wasn't offered this year.  I think it was offered a few time in aftercare this month, though (I think this was in the newsletter).

Shepherd Park is an interesting mix.  There are many multi-generational families in the neighborhood, and others who have moved out but have ties to Shepherd--and many of both still send kids to Shepherd.  So I don't think the Petworth crowd will overtake the school quite that quickly (no offense, I have some great SP neighbors who've moved from Petworth, Columbia Heights, etc.--one thing I love about these folks is that they seem to be much more embracing of racial and socio-economic diversity than some WOTP families).
