Church donates headphones to local elementary school

Chattanooga, Tenn. (WDEF) — A Hamilton County Elementary school received donations of 300 headphones.

The Woodland Park Baptist Church youth group spent weeks selling donuts to help raise money.

Students at Bess T. Shepherd Elementary school will use the new equipment in their tech learning center.

Administrators say that headphones can be pricey and many don’t last a full school year.

“The sound stopped working on them,” says a student from Bess T. Shepherd Elementary.

The youth group also volunteers their time at the school by cleaning out desks and tutoring.
