Students at the Pioneer Charter School of Science in Everett wanted to help Malden’s Karina Xavier. They were very excited to present Karina a check from their fundraising efforts to help her with her cancer treatments.

The students raised a little over $700 after the student body held a bake sale and held a dress down day, in which all students paid a fee to dress down (without their uniforms), and some even donated a little extra as well.

This was after a student, Kemerline Kaltofen, collected a bag full of Poland Spring caps before she and the school it was a hoax. They were heartbroken when they found out but the students rallied and they went onto have the bake sale as a fundraiser.
