This week's Farmer's and Merchant's Bank "Banking on a Wildcat" goes to senior, Maggi Guadarrama.

It has been fun watching her be active in cheer and working with the little kids over the past couple years. This year, watching her grow into the young woman she is becoming has been fun as she makes her future decisions. Arnett is very happy to have Maggi and can't wait to see what she does in her future!" Congratulations, Maggi!

**Public Service Announcement from Arnett Public Schools** As many of you may have plans to travel or host friends and relatives during spring break, we would like to remind you of an important health precaution. With various viruses circulating locally and globally, it is crucial to monitor for illness for 21 days after returning from any travel. If your child becomes sick after traveling, please contact your healthcare provider and inform them of your child's symptoms and travel history. In particular, due to recent reports of measles cases in Oklahoma, an ongoing outbreak in New Mexico and Texas, and other states across the U.S., we encourage all families to be vigilant for any measles symptoms, especially if you have traveled or hosted guests. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe and healthy. Sincerely, Arnett Public Schools
