Shutterfly Fundraising
The Mantua PTA is excited to announce a new fundraising opportunity with Shutterfly. We have created a custom online storefront where you can shop the extensive Shutterfly collection of photo books, gifts, premium stationery, keepsakes, home décor and so much more—and for every purchase made, Shutterfly will donate 8% to the Mantua PTA.
It’s easy to support us:
- Visit our Shutterfly Storefront at: https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-100743826-15196320 (They recommend not altering the URL display, so that is why it looks a little weird!)
- Purchase thoughtful gifts and keepsakes for friends, family and yourself.
- That’s it! For every purchase made, 8% of the proceeds will go toward helping our organization.
You can even use applicable Shutterfly discount codes to save on your entire order. Remember, you need to click through to Shutterfly using this unique code for us to receive the promotion.
Please feel free to share this link with your friends, family and co-workers—the more orders we receive through our Storefront, the more our organization earns!

Passive Fundraising Opportunities
Mantua proudly partners with Harris Teeter’s Together in Education program to help raise funds for our school. It’s easy and it’s FREE. Just link your VIC card and when you check out, Mantua will receive a percentage of your Harris Teer brand purchases credited back to our account. We do need to relink each calendar year, so if you have participated in the past, you will need to relink this year to continue earning rewards. You can also tell the cashier the Mantua school code, 4458, at check out. The program does not interfere with your VIC savings or cost you any money!
