Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium
Announcement
Subject: General Sports Parade
It has been the custom for the management of the Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium to hold a general sports parade
at the beginning of October each year, in which all students of various educational
levels participate, each according to their qualifications, competence, and ability. Therefore, we invite, from now on,
all students who wish to maintain their health and spend their free time on useful things
to attend continuously during the upcoming summer vacation at the aforementioned stadium
daily from seven o'clock in the evening to start practicing the sports activities
included within the parade curriculum, in preparation for demonstrating their physical activity, which
is considered a fundamental factor for practical education.
The stadium management will allocate special prizes for those who attend training continuously,
similar to the prizes usually awarded to exemplary students in classrooms.
