Students at Rose Park Elementary School in Salt Lake City had a special guest Wednesday — and he brought presents.

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman delivered boxes of goggles and other materials for teaching science to fourth-graders at the school.

The donation was made by Chevron's 2014 Fuel Your School Program. Huntsman, a former U.S. ambassador to China and presidential candidate, is a member of the Chevron board of directors.

Chevron said it plans to donate up to $500,000 for eligible classroom projects to schools in Davis and Salt Lake counties. Since 2011, the program has provided almost $1.5 million to nearly 2,000 classroom projects in the two counties.
