School’s out for summer — and we’re already planning for back-to-school!
At First Light, we know how important it is for students to start the school year with confidence. That’s why we’re offering our annual Backpack Program to support families in getting the school supplies their children need to succeed.
From Kindergarten to Post-Secondary, we welcome applications for students of all ages.
🗓 Application Period: July 2–15, 2025
Things to Know
- Parents and guardians must complete a separate application for each child
- Submitting an application does not guarantee a backpack
- Confirmation emails will be sent to successful applicants by the end of July
- Backpacks will be distributed in early August.

Fill out the online form (below) for each student in your household by July 15, 2025.
