'I wanted everyone to feel equal,' explains Chase Neyland-Square, the brainchild behind PAM's Pantry
“I wanted everyone to feel equal,” explains Chase Neyland-Square, the brainchild behind PAM’s Pantry, so one Louisiana middle school student is doing his part to make sure that his fellow classmates are fully outfitted this school year. Chase Neyland-Square, an eighth grader at Port Allen Middle School is the person behind PAM’s Pantry, a closet located at his school filled with donated clothes and other basic items to keep those in his community feeling their very best.
The closet, located behind his school’s stage, is filled with everything from outerwear to dresses, as well as school supplies such as pencils, markers, binders and sharpeners, and even hygiene products. Items are donated by people in the community, and all families who live in the community — not just students — are invited to take whatever they need, no questions asked.
The altruistic idea came to Neyland-Square during the school’s SPARK, which stands for Student Program for Arts, Recreation, and Knowledge, summer program implemented by Principal Jessica Major. Students are asked to come up with ideas and then work to implement them.
