The Olive Festival at Freres Secondary School is a cherished annual event aimed at fostering patriotism and appreciating the olive tree and its fruits. This year, under the guidance of educator Mona Hazo and the basic education team, the festival featured a variety of enriching activities.
The day kicked off with a photography exhibition in the heritage cave, showcasing traditional tools from ancient times. Students then enjoyed lively performances on stage, including dabke dances, songs, chants, folk proverbs, and various cultural presentations. They also participated in hands-on activities such as making Nabulsi soap and preparing olives « Rasea. » A highlight was the delicious Manqousha topped with municipal oil and Palestinian thyme, lovingly prepared by the mothers who tirelessly support the school’s initiatives.
The school administration extends heartfelt thanks to the primary department, all the teachers, and the dedicated mothers for their efforts in making this festival a memorable success.
