Cordley's Shelter

CORDLEY ELEMENTARY COMMUNITY SHELTER



In the fall of 2009 the Cordley Community Shelter was completed.  This project would not have been completed without support of the Cordley PTA, Douglas County Community Foundation, Cottin's Hardware, KU Arcitecture Department, and many parent and community volunteers.  A special thanks to Kevin, David, Jon, Bruce, Kim, Alex, Bob, Matt, Don, Mike, Matt, Jenn, Nathan, Ben, Britt, Brian, Clara, Melanie, Karina, Xing, Caity, and Ian for all their hard work!
