Farmers Bank Ambassadors will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week for a new mural in downtown Princeton, which is part of their mission to raise awareness about mental health issues and combat suicide among their peers.
Tiffany Massey with Farmers Bank says the Ambassadors have some exciting things in the pipeline right now and all of the students in the program continue to amaze her with the way they care about the community. She said the Ambassador students wanted to make a difference this school year and came up with the idea to bring more awareness to mental health issues by painting a mural on the side of a building downtown.
