Mid Missouri Bank

On this #OneTeamOneWillardWednesday, Mid-Missouri Bank in Willard is proud to support our mission. The Mid-Missouri team says, "the primary beneficiaries of those efforts are our communities’ future leaders—today’s Willard School students. MidMo Bank has long practiced our “Investing in Future Leaders” program in Willard, as well as in all of our communities, and we couldn’t be more excited for a school-sponsored effort with a similar goal. We appreciate every teacher, every parent, every support staff and every student striving to keep Willard the fantastic place it is today. Thank you to everyone involved."

Thank YOU, MidMo Bank, for all you do for our students and our community! If you would like to be included in future #OneTeamOneWillardWednesday posts, email [email protected]
