Teacher for a Day (TFAD): Teacher for a Day is a joint venture between the Chicago Teachers Union and the Chicago Public Schools and will take place on Tuesday, May 15, 2007. The purpose of Teacher for a Day is for business and community members to gain a better understanding of and develop a deeper appreciation of the work Chicago Public Schools' teachers provide each school day. This year it will be a pilot taking place in 24 select CPS schools. The day will consist of volunteers co-teaching a lesson prepared by the teacher, observing a class, assisting a class by working with groups of students, picking up students at the beginning of the day from the bus, working in the lunchroom and many other activities. 
E2 College Fund: On March 14, 2003, the Chicago Public Schools
announced the creation of the Children First Fund E2 College Fund. This
Fund will provide college assistance to the more than 30 Chicago-area
children who lost a parent at the E2 Nightclub last month. Upon graduation
from high school, these students will receive a scholarship to attend
the college or vocational school of their choice. For more information
