Business Education Network

The Business Education Network (BEN) and the Willmar High School welcomed Healthy Fusion to the high school on October 11th. The students had a chance to try free samples and add a fun key chain to their collections. Zero Hour is the first hour on Wednesdays at Willmar High School. This time is scheduled every other week for students to catch up on tests or missing work. Those that do not have work to catch up on are in the commons area until classes start at 9am. This gives us the opportunity to showcase all the fantastic businesses right here in the Willmar Lakes Area. If you would like the opportunity to connect with the Willmar High School students, please reach out to Jennifer Lindquist - the program coordinator - at BENCoordinator@willmarareachamber.com to schedule your date to attend.
