Kandy Stripe Academy

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Earth Day Koalas!

Celebration of Life information for Ms. Malinda Jefferson.

The Kandy Stripe Academy community is mourning the loss of a cherished educator, Ms. Jefferson — lovingly known to so many as Ms. J.

For over 40 remarkable years, Ms. J devoted her life to shaping young minds, building confidence, and inspiring generations of students. Her classroom was more than a place of learning — it was a space filled with structure, encouragement, laughter, and love. She had a special gift for seeing the potential in every child and nurturing it with patience and dedication.

Even after retirement, Ms. J remained a treasured part of our Kandy Stripe Academy family. Her impact stretches far beyond the walls of our school — living on in the achievements, character, and memories of the countless students she taught and the colleagues she mentored.

We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, former students, and all who were blessed to know her. Thank you, Ms. J, for your decades of service, your unwavering commitment, and the legacy you leave behind.

Rest peacefully, Ms. Jefferson.
Your lessons will continue to guide us for years to come. 💙
