McDonald's night, Scooby Snacks raise funds for EBD classroom
The Emotional Behavioral Disability Program at Wadsworth Elementary School will be hosting a fundraiser at the Town Center McDonald's 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 22. Ten percent of the profit made during that time will go back to Wadsworth's EBD support animal and rewards programs.

Scooby is the EBD classroom Emotional Support Animal. Students utilize Scooby by receiving emotional support and unconditional love. Students have to care for Scooby by walking, feeding and playing with him. There is also Butterball, the guinea pig, and Stewie the Teddy Bear hamster. These animals reduce stress, anxiety and assist with the students disabilities. Since Scooby's arrival, there has been a major reduction in referrals and Baker Acts.

Students bake and sell Scooby Snacks at Wadsworth as well. All natural dog biscuits are measured, baked, bagged and delivered to students and/or staff that order them for profit. The popularity of Emotional Support Animals has increased and now Belle Terre Elementary School has Bella the dog in an autistic classroom. Data indicates that Emotional Support Animals in the classroom benefit students and staff.
