EXETER — As we prepare for Christmas, students in grades 4-8 at Wyoming Area Catholic School recently participated in an Advent Retreat. The day began with a prayer service followed by many theme-related activities such as Advent Bingo, designing and creating homemade Christmas cards for the residents at Wesley Village, digital escape rooms discovering Christmas traditions of various countries by solving codes, and constructing an advent wreath.
