"Thank you for your
generosity during the past year in providing scholarships to participate in your chess classes.
The chess classes were well-organized and well-run, despite
their large size, and the end-of-year trophies surprised and delighted
[student name] in how nice they were made. Thank you again and have a
wonderful summer."
