This week's Farmers and Merchants Bank "Banking on a Wildcat" goes to Nicolas Sant'Anna. Nicolas's teachers had this to say about him: "Nicolas is a hardworking, intelligent, motivated, talented, and humble young man. He wants to better himself in the classroom and in his extracurriculars; therefore, he consistently pays attention, respects his teachers & coaches, and puts in the time & effort it takes to make improvements. Nicolas is a quiet leader, setting an example with integrity and humility." Congratulations, Nicolas!
