October is “Teach For America” month, and University of Nebraska-Lincoln honors fraternity Phi Sigma Pi is helping bring awareness to the organization’s mission through a free screening of “Waiting For Superman” on Tuesday. “The ‘Waiting for Superman’ message is that the public school system in our country isn’t working like it should be,” said '''Angela Tejada (&#915;&#937;)''', Phi Sigma Pi’s president and campus campaign coordinator for Teach For America at UNL. “About 50 percent of students from low-income communities won’t graduate high from high school by age 18. Teach For America aims to close this achievement gap by ensuring that more children can receive an excellent education.”
