Woodland Elementary School recently received a $750 donation to the school’s Chess Club from Anderson County Commissioner Myron Iwanski.

The school “would like to offer a special thank you to Commissioner Iwanski,” a press release said.

“Two years ago, Commissioner Iwanski made a generous donation to our Spanish Club,” the press release said. “These extra-curricular activities are excellent opportunities for our students that expand our offerings beyond the school day. The funding generated to support these clubs is largely raised by participating students’ parents.”
