CHEF welcomes new board member Maura Johnson

The Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation has elected Maura Johnson to a three-year term on its board of directors.

Johnson has been teaching in the Cape Henlopen School District for eight years and was its 2022 Teacher of the Year. She is currently a third-grade teacher at Lewes Elementary School. In 2015, she graduated from the University of Delaware with a bachelor of science degree in early childhood education.

As a Delaware native and Cape alumna, Johnson always had the dream to move home to the community that inspired her love of education. Johnson loves to stay involved with both her school and community. She is a lighthouse coordinator for the Leader in Me program at Lewes Elementary and was a coach for Girls on the Run for many years. 

"We are extremely pleased to have a former District Teacher of the Year join our board," said Rick Grier-Reynolds, CHEF president. "We look forward to Maura’s assistance in helping us provide educational resources to the students and teachers of the Cape Henlopen School District."

CHEF has been a nonprofit strategic partner of the Cape Henlopen School District since 2007. For the latest information about how CHEF is providing Cape students in kindergarten through 12th grade with the tools they need to excel in school and life, go to chef-cape.org.
