We had such a blast during our BIG Back-to-School BONUS. Thank you for all your submissions. Our team was captivated by the incredible stories that were shared. Above everything, we understand how crucial back-to-school season is to set your kids up for success.

After reading your entries, we learned all about the school supplies that are needed to prepare for the year. From electronics to clothing, your shopping list may seem never-ending. Not to mention, you probably have additional expenses if your kids are involved in extracurricular activities.

Unfortunately, school supply expenses reached an all-time high this year due to shortages and steep shipping fees. When costs go up, they ultimately get passed to the consumer. This could mean that the supplies your child needed for school are no longer affordable.

Even without the rise that we saw this year, school supplies are expensive. As our communities continue to recover from the economic and social crisis, it’s essential that we come together to support one another.

There’s nothing more important than the towns we serve. As one of the leading lenders in the nation, Heights is proud to give back and support people all over the country through various initiatives. We understand the significance of back-to-school season, which was one of the many reasons that we threw the BIG Back to School BONUS. Without further ado, we’re happy to congratulate our lucky winners. We know you’ll be able to put your gift card to good use.

For those who weren’t selected this time, stay tuned for our future giveaways. This will definitely not be the last contest that we’ll host. As always, we’re constantly looking for ways to give back and help you stay on top of your finances. We can’t wait for you to see what’s on the horizon!
