Founders Day & Alumni Homecoming

Founders Day 2023 Logo

Friday, September 8th
5:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Marburn Academy Piazza

Marburn's inaugural Founders Day event was held in 2021 to celebrate our 40th year of providing excellent in education for students who learn differently. Combined with last year's Founders Day event, we have welcomed more than 900 attendees, including families, faculty, staff, alumni, and Board Members! Our annual event is back with an evening of fun, food, festivities, and family connectivity to celebrate the founders of our school.

The event features inflatables, games, face painting, crafts, food trucks, and more. This is the biggest event of the school year, so be sure to share in this memorable and fun evening with us.

*Founders Day is at no cost to families except food and beverage, which will be self-pay.
