John Legend Says ‘Everybody Needs Help’ As He Talks About the Value of Teachers

John Legend celebrates the importance of teachers and volunteers in his family’s life, recognizing outstanding educators through the Box Tops for

Education program.

Legend visited Westport Heights Elementary School in Los Angeles, where he emphasized the role of teachers and volunteers in supporting his

children’s school experience and development. He praises the program for helping schools raise funds and provide additional resources for

students.

Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, value the efforts of those involved in their children’s schools and appreciate the support they receive. The couple’s children, Luna and Miles, have a strong interest in music and creativity, with the family hosting music classes at home for toddlers.

“As a kid, I loved school, reading, and engaging with learning. It was always great teachers who inspired me. They were so creative and skilled at helping kids connect education with life,” said Legend.
