Davidson Elementary
4th Grade
Hi there! My name is Alexis Ali and I am so excited be teaching 4th grade again this year! I grew up in Katy and attended elementary, middle and high school in Katy ISD, so it is always bittersweet to get to teach in the district that I have always loved. I graduated from Texas State University with an Elementary Education degree. In my free time I love to bake, shop, and travel. I look forward to a wonderful and fun school year with y'all!
Hello, there! My name is Sakennia Churchwell and I am so excited to begin my 3rd year at KDE!

My husband and I live with my 3 rambunctious bonus teenagers, and our spunky maltipoo, Casper. I enjoy spending time with my family, drinking coffee, and reading a good book. I'm looking forward to an amazing year of teaching and learning!
Hi! My name is Amanda Alston, and I am thrilled to teach 4th grade Math and Science again this year. I was born and raised in Katy, Texas, and graduated from Katy High School. I then earned my degree from the University of Houston-Victoria, marking this as my 11th year in teaching. My husband and I have four wonderful children. Our three oldest—Tristan, Audrey, and Ardian—are all high school graduates, and Mikey is a junior high student at Tays. I love spending time with my family and our English Bulldog Rocky, as well as cooking out and enjoying the outdoors. I am excited to embark on this journey with all of you this year!
This is my third year at Davidson Elementary! I'm on my way to becoming a school counselor and I'm so excited to continue teaching English Language Arts. I love reading and hope I can instill that same love of reading with our dragons! I'm eager to start the new school year and feel honored to get to know every child that joins our community.
