MARBURN MISSION ITEM #1
$200
Marburn Mission Item: Noise Canceling Headphones
For donors who don't need one more "thing" but want to help make a difference, we invite you to contribute to Marburn's Mission items. This abbreviated wish list, compiled by teachers and division heads, represents a few program enhancements that will help our current students SHINE in the year ahead.
Help us provide noise-canceling headphones. Our students sometimes need help concentrating on the tasks at hand. Students use headphones daily when working on Apps to support reading instruction, to access grade-level texts needed for research in content classes, and as a focusing tool.

MARBURN MISSION ITEM #2
$100
Marburn Mission Item: Marburn Library
For donors who don't need one more "thing" but want to help make a difference, we invite you to contribute to Marburn's Mission items. This abbreviated wish list, compiled by teachers and division heads, represents a few program enhancements that will help our current students SHINE in the year ahead.
A library is an important source of knowledge for young minds in schools. It develops the important habit of reading among students and can have a positive impact on their academic achievement.
Your support of Marburn Academy's library will aid in diversifying the books available to our students, allowing us to purchase ten (10) new books for each division.

MARBURN MISSION ITEM #3
$100
Marburn Mission Item: iPads and Apple Pencils
For donors who don't need one more "thing" but want to help make a difference, we invite you to contribute to Marburn's Mission items. This abbreviated wish list, compiled by teachers and division heads, represents a few program enhancements that will help our current students SHINE in the year ahead.
Apple Pencil is reinventing the standard for how drawing, note-taking, and marking up documents should feel - intuitive, precise, and magical. In addition, our 1:1 technology ratio presents a steady need for updated iPads and resources available to our students. Your support will help meet that need.

MARBURN MISSION ITEM #4
$100
Marburn Mission Item: Fidget Sets
For donors who don't need one more "thing" but want to help make a difference, we invite you to contribute to Marburn's Mission items. This abbreviated wish list, compiled by teachers and division heads, represents a few program enhancements that will help our current students SHINE in the year ahead.
Your support will allow us to purchase needed student attention accommodation and strategy items, including fidget sets. Fidgets give our students an opportunity to give their hands or bodies something to do and allow their brain to then focus on the task at hand, such as listening to a teacher or reading.

LUCKY LIBATIONS

The Hicks Award for Advocacy is given at the discretion of the Chair of the Board of Trustees and the Head of School to an individual, company or organization that is:
- mission-driven and exemplifies Marburn's core values;
- an advocate, champion, and key influencer; and
- a change agent that has made lasting and transformative contributions to the field and/or the constituencies we serve.
The inaugural award will be presented in 2022 to its namesake, Brian Hicks, President and CEO of Hicks Partners, LLC.
Brian Hicks is an extraordinary volunteer, community advocate and catalyst for change - all that this award embodies. His unparalleled legacy is one associated with access and affordability for all through his pro-bono lobbying work for the Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship and Autism Scholarship. Brian's decades-long advocacy work has ensured all families who need educational options for students who learn differently may access the services they need despite their financial circumstances.
Brian joined the Marburn Academy Board of Trustees in 2008. During his tenure he served on all committees and as Chair of the Marketing Committee from 2016-2019. He was Secretary 2012 to 2016, Vice-Chair in 2016 and Chair from 2017 to 2021. His service to the Marburn community is a family affair and his wife, Kathy, has been involved with many initiatives including the Gala. Their son, Jacob, graduated from Marburn Academy in 2018.
Brian and future recipient names will be added to a commemorative plaque permanently installed at the New Albany campus.
