Laurie Abrahamson

My name is Laurie Abrahamson. I am so happy to be a Dragon teaching fifth grade math this year. I grew up in Ohio and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I hold certifications in EC-8th grade, SPED for the Hearing Impaired, and ESL. I have taught many grade levels, but love 5th grade most of all. My husband and I just celebrated 25 years of marriage. I have two children, a daughter working on her master’s degree, and a son who is a junior in college. Rounding out my family is my pup Tucker. In my free time I love making things such as t-shirts and wreaths, swimming, traveling to the mountains, and spending time with my family. I am excited to build a classroom community where being a mathematician is FUN!

Julia Arcuri

Hi, I’m Mrs. Arcuri. I have taught for over 30 years in high school and elementary school. I taught Fifth Grade for 15 years and am so excited to be promoted from Fourth Grade to teach Fifth Grade this year! I teach Reading and Language Arts. My husband is a Math teacher and Football coach at Seven Lakes High School. Our two daughters, Meredith and Robin, are grown, but they always visit us. Robin has a 5-year-old daughter named Ella! I love every moment of being this sweet girl's Nano. Meredith has 3 Chihuahuas, one of which is a bit evil. I love to read, write, read, do puzzles, read, and knit! The only thing I like more than reading is being with kids!

Hello! My name is McKayla Bobbitt and I am a 5^th grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher at KDE! I was born in Katy but spent most of my childhood in South Texas. I attended Houston Baptist University (now Houston Christian University) for both my undergraduate and Master's degrees. I have a Master of Education in Reading and a Reading Specialist Certification. This will be my 7th year teaching, and I still love every second of it! When I am not at work, you can find me snuggling with my dog or at the gym. I am proud to serve KDE and am excited about the year ahead!

Hi! My name is Brittany Fontaine, and I am so excited to be returning to Davidson for my second year as a Dragon! This will be my 6th year of teaching and my 4th year here in Katy ISD. I have taught a little bit of everything from 4^th grade math/science to Algebra. I grew up in Klein ISD where I graduated from Klein Collins High School in 2013. I attended Texas Tech right after high school but ended up graduating college from Texas A&M in 2018 and will be graduating with my Masters in School Counseling in May. My husband and I met at Texas A&M and got married in June 2019. We have two kids, Nolan (3.5 years old) and Adisyn (1-year-old). We also have two fur babies... Rudder, a yellow lab, and Raider, a goldendoodle. I love spending time with my family, reading, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I am extremely passionate about this career and can't wait to share that passion with my students this year!

Jennifer Simpson

My name is Jennifer Simpson and I love being a KDE Dragon! This is my fourth year teaching in 5th grade (after teaching off and on in various grades and districts for 10) and I'm excited to be adding social studies to my math and science repertoire. I'm originally from Louisiana and love "passing a good time" inside and out of the classroom. I love spending my free time reading, traveling, watching movies, and hanging out with my two adult children and my 9 year-old bulldog! I also love everything Disney and cheering on the Houston Astros!
