Belen Jesuit Preparatory School

Get Ready, Tombola is Coming Soon

Teresa Martinez | Director of Communications
This year, the annual Fr. Dorta-Duque, SJ Memorial Tombola will be held on February 8-10 . This incredible tradition has not only been a great opportunity for families and alumni to gather on campus and enjoy each other’s company, but has also helped raise the necessary funds for our Financial Assistance Program.  For detailed information about all of the events and how you can get involved please visit www.belenjesuit.org/tombola.
 
Here are a few important reminders:

  • Raffle tickets. As part of the cost of student registration you have already paid for these tickets. Your family has the option of selling the tickets in order to recuperate the funds or you can donate the additional proceeds to the school.  We ask that you return the raffle ticket stubs so you can participate in the raffle and be eligible for prizes to the main office by Friday, February 8.

  • Volunteer Sign-up. Students and Parents are required to volunteer with their homeroom. Information on how to register will be sent via email on Monday, January 14.

  • Purchase ride tickets. Tickets and ride bracelets can only be purchased online at http://www.belenjesuit.org/tombolarides.

  • New this year.  Our Bazaar will have an Early Bird Shopping Event on Saturday, February 9 in the Roberto Goizueta Athletic Center.  We will be selling tickets to only 200 shoppers, who prefer to shop in a less-crowded environment and want first dibs at the merchandise. Tickets for the event are $20 and includes a goody bag, little bites, and complimentary mimosas.  Click here to purchase tickets.

  • The Cigar Lounge will be open Saturday and Sunday beginning at 2 p.m. in the Raul and Nidia Rodriguez Science Pavilion.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain.  The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline.  In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty.  The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow.  Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
