Looking back on this year’s St. Patrick’s Day, we can’t help but smile remembering the laughter, teamwork, and bright green accessories that filled the air when Georgia Roof Advisors joined us for an unforgettable Team Building Volunteer Day.

The day began with a huge hoorah! as more than 40 volunteers gathered in the neighborhood, greeted with fresh coffee and energy from Dunkin’, ready to roll up their sleeves. Before the work began, volunteers learned about the rich history of the surrounding community: a space shaped and strengthened through years of collaboration between Habitat for Humanity and local residents.

At MGE, we believe kids learn best when sustainability is more than a lesson—it’s an action. Recycling in classrooms shows students their choices matter and connects them to the joy of caring for our planet while at the same time bringing standards they are learning in the classroom to life.

Why let your old costumes gather dust? Drop them off now until October 6 and give them a new chance to shine! All costumes will be available at our Community Costume Swap on Sunday, October 12 at Stitched Gifts in Marietta, helping families save money while reducing textile waste.

We are looking for a School Impact Coordinator with 7+ years K-8 experience to help develop environmental education experiences for students in K-8, with the primary emphasis being K-5. This role will also build and nurture relationships with schools in metro Atlanta, enhancing our programs and expanding our impact in the region.

At the end of the school year, in the rush to head out for summer, many perfectly good school supplies often get left behind. This year, My Green Earth (MGE) found a way to give those items new life and purpose. Thanks to the efforts of teachers, parents, and students across multiple schools in May, boxes of unused supplies were collected for redistribution to students in need. Together, the community gathered and distributed over $2,200 worth of brand new or like-new supplies to put back into the hands of learners.

Like Bob Ross used to say, life is full of “happy accidents.” For Austell teacher Rebecca Fant, that couldn’t be more true. What began as a career path in international affairs and global issues has shifted into a deeply local mission—teaching Georgia’s history, geography, and environment to middle schoolers while partnering with My Green Earth.
