PHILADELPHIA, PA — A Philadelphia special education classroom turned into a holiday celebration Friday when Dunkin’ surprised Eagles cheerleader and educator James LeGette with an unexpected MUNCHKIN® Party, spotlighting the powerful intersection of sports, education, and community impact.
The surprise unfolded on Friday, December 19, following recent coverage highlighting LeGette’s influence both on the sidelines and in the classroom. Known for his energetic teaching style and deep commitment to his students, LeGette was honored for going beyond traditional instruction by using creativity, movement, and encouragement to help build confidence and joy among his students.
Dunkin’ transformed the classroom into a festive scene, treating every student to MUNCHKINS® and bringing in its mascot, Sprinkles, for an appearance that drew cheers and wide smiles. The celebration also included a reading of Dunkin’s The Little Holiday MUNCHKIN book, giveaways for students, and a year of free MUNCHKINS® for LeGette as a gesture of appreciation for his daily dedication.
Those close to the event said the moment was designed to recognize not just LeGette’s public role with the Eagles, but the quieter, consistent work he does with students who benefit from his enthusiasm and personal investment. The surprise served as a reminder that impact off the field can be just as meaningful as performances under stadium lights.
The classroom celebration delivered a feel-good holiday moment rooted in gratitude, mentorship, and community connection — a brief pause in the season that highlighted how small acts of recognition can leave a lasting impression.
