CHEF showcases its work for Cape community

The Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation held its Friends of Cape Henlopen event Oct. 15, at Frederick D. Thomas Middle School in Lewes.

The purpose of the event was to showcase the things CHEF does to support the students and staff of Cape Henlopen School District.

Since its inception, CHEF's funding objectives have changed slightly, but the focus remains on providing resources that will help Cape Henlopen School District students develop their full potential and excel. Over the past 14 years, CHEF has contributed $411,000 to 458 grant awardees. Just last year alone, CHEF gave out 50 grants totaling $79,960.

“The Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation seeks to inspire learning and to prepare all students for a healthy, productive life in a diverse and global society,” said Jenny Nauman, assistant superintendent of Cape Henlopen School District. “To accomplish this, we seek to engage the entire community – educators, parents, business, civic and legislative leaders – in providing students with the tools they need to excel.”
