🎓 The future is bright!

On Tuesday evening, we will gather at the Port Theatre to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of graduating students from across School District 68 at our annual Scholarships Awards Evening.

Last year, an amazing $457,350 in scholarships will be awarded to students as they take the next step in their educational journeys. These awards are made possible through the generosity of local businesses, organizations, families, and community members who believe in investing in the leaders of tomorrow.

We are looking forward to recognizing the hard work, dedication, resilience, and achievements of these outstanding students.

Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients—we can’t wait to celebrate with you! 🎉

💜 As we wrap up a successful month-long Project Fresh campaign throughout May, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make it possible. 💜

Thanks to the incredible partnership and support of and , students across our community will have access to essential personal care items that help them feel confident, prepared, and ready to learn.

Throughout the month, community members came together to purchase and donate hygiene products, helping ensure students have access to everyday essentials many of us take for granted. From toothpaste and toothbrushes to shampoo, deodorant, and other personal care items, these donations will make a meaningful difference in the lives of local children and youth.

At NLSF, we know that when students feel comfortable, confident, and cared for, they are better able to focus on learning and reaching their full potential.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the campaign, and supported Project Fresh. Together, we are helping students start each day with dignity and confidence.

🚐✨ Big news for Food4Schools!

We’re excited to share a first look at our new NLSF delivery van — the next step in strengthening how we support students across our community. 💙

This van will soon be fully branded and outfitted with racking and refrigeration, helping us safely and efficiently deliver food to schools throughout Nanaimo and Ladysmith.

Every upgrade like this means more reliable deliveries, fresher food, and ultimately more students supported each day. 🍎🥪

Thank you to our incredible community and partners who make growth like this possible — we can’t wait to get this van on the road!

Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚

Today is a reminder that small actions can make a big impact—for our planet and for future generations.

At NLSF, we see every day how caring for our community and caring for our environment go hand in hand. From reducing waste to supporting local food programs, it all contributes to a healthier, stronger future for our students.

Let’s continue to learn, grow, and take steps—big or small—to protect the world around us. 🌱

Happy Vaisakhi! 🌼

Today we celebrate Vaisakhi, a meaningful day that marks the spring harvest and the beginning of a new year in the Sikh calendar. It also commemorates the formation of the Khalsa in 1699—a moment that represents community, equality, and service to others.

Vaisakhi is a time of joy, gratitude, and coming together—values that deeply align with the spirit of community we see every day across our schools.

At NLSF, we are proud to celebrate the diversity that makes our community so strong. 💛

What an incredible show of community 💛

We were so honoured to receive this generous gift from the amazing group of women behind Mid Island 100 Women Who Care. Together, they raised $15,300 in support of the Nanaimo Ladysmith Schools Foundation 🙌

Moments like this are a powerful reminder of what happens when people come together with purpose. This funding will go directly toward supporting students across School District 68—helping ensure they have access to food, resources, and opportunities to succeed.

To every woman in that room—thank you. Your collective impact is real, meaningful, and felt every single day in our schools.

It truly takes a community 💫 🩷

What a special evening ❤️

On Thursday, we had the privilege of hosting our Annual Appreciation Evening for our incredible donors, volunteers, and supporters. It was a night filled with delicious food, meaningful connections, and powerful stories that truly captured the heart of what we do.

There were moments that left the room in tears—in the best way—reminding us all of the impact we’re making together.

We are so grateful to be part of such an amazing community. The work happening across our schools and beyond is only possible because of each and every person in that room.

Thank you for showing up, for caring, and for making a difference 💛
