Get Ready for Tombola
Tombola is less than a month away - February 2-4! Don’t forget to buy tickets for the Old School Party featuring Juanabe on Friday night and the Unlimited Ride Bracelet. The weekend ride bracelet is only available to purchase before the start of Tombola and won’t be available during the festival.
Volunteer Shifts
Students in grades 6-11 will need to work a shift alongside one of their parents. When registering at http://belenjesuit.ivolunteer.com, only include the name of the student.
A parent must volunteer to work a shift for each child enrolled at the school. For instance, if a parent has a 7th grader and a 10th grader, the parent must work a shift with each son.
Senior students will work independently of their parents and will register with the Dean of Student Activities. Senior parents must register to volunteer to work in their son's FLEX class.
Raffle Tickets
Tombola Raffle Tickets have been distributed to all students. ONE complimentary raffle ticket (blue ticket) has been given to every student. To help us reach our goal, we challenge every student to sell ONE booklet (white tickets) equivalent to $100 or $10 a ticket. Every week leading up to Tombola, we will have a drawing for prizes for all students who sell a booklet. Additional raffle tickets can be purchased online at www.belenjesuit.org/tombolaraffle.
To be included in the drawing, please return completed stubs (including the one for the blue ticket) to the school’s Main Office by February 2, 2024, or to the information booth during Tombola by 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 4, 2024.

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.
