Students had the opportunity to learn about these businesses while engaging in fun games to earn free swag! 👏🏫🍎

⏰ What is Zero Hour?
Zero Hour takes place during the first hour every Wednesday at Willmar Senior High. 📚 It is a dedicated time for students to make up tests or complete missing work. 📝 Students who are caught up gather in the commons until classes begin at 9:00 AM. This open time also provides a valuable opportunity to highlight the outstanding businesses and organizations that serve the Willmar Lakes Area. 🤝✨
