From PR Newswire: When your children come home from the first day of school this year and hand you their supply lists, expect to pay as much as $1,245 if you have two children in grades k-12. The cost represents supplies as well as the payment for activity-related expenses whether that is a musical instrument rental, sports equipment or club fees. To fill the backpacks of their children this year, Huntington projects that parents should have $351 available in late summer for elementary pupils, $530 for middle school children and $894 for high school students. "Huntington has designed the Backpack Index to help parents save what they will need for back-to-school shopping," said Mary Navarro, senior executive vice president of retail and commercial banking at Huntington Bank. "Huntington has also developed a Back To School Shopping Guide that parents can use to teach their children about money management as they buy school supplies.
