Anna Vacca, ELA Teacher

I am so happy to be part of the RES family, working together to help your children learn and grow! I have admired my teachers since preschool, and knew I wanted to make a career of it since then. I moved from Ohio to attend Appalachian State University where I got my degree in Elementary Education. My husband and I live right here in Rolesville, with our two boys and dog, Leeroy! When I'm not at school you might find me camping in the mountains, crafting, or eating Mexican food! :) You'll also hear of me jetting off to Ohio quite frequently to visit my parents who still live there, as well as my 2 brothers, 2 sisters, and all of their cute kids!

Julie Wiggins, Teacher

I am Julie Wiggins and I love teaching 3rd grade! I began teaching at Rolesville Elementary School after graduating from Appalachian State University. I have spent most of my career here and wouldn't have it any other way! 
 
My husband and I have two awesome boys. Josh is in college at UNC-Charlotte and Jordan is a student at Rolesville High School. I enjoy spending time with my family, watching Rolesville Rams baseball, and traveling to the mountains and the beach.
 
 Rolesville is my home and I feel very fortunate to teach at RES!

Diana Burrafato, Teacher

I have been teaching at Rolesville Elementary since 2014! I graduated from Meredith College twice! In 2013, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Child Development and my license to teach Kindergarten through Sixth Grade students and in 2021, I completed my Master of Education Degree in Reading.  I moved to North Carolina in 2000 and went to school at the Franklin Academy, it's always fun to know that I grew up playing on the same baseball field your own children use now! I love reading, crafting, baking, and spending time with my family and my friends! I love teaching at Rolesville Elementary because of the community- getting to see families grow and change over the years has been a really rewarding part of my career here at RES!

Stephanie Taylor, Teacher

I have been teaching at RES since 2011! I was born and raised in New Jersey and then finished high school and college in Pittsburgh, Pa. In 2007, I graduated with a degree in French and in 2008, I finished my degree in Elementary Education, both from Slippery Rock University in Slippery Rock, Pa. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me drawing, enjoying concerts, solving crossword puzzles, traveling, and going on walks with my dog, Frankie. I also have a cat, Lulu, but she's too busy earning an Olympic gold medal in laziness.

Laquita Covington, Teacher

Hi there! My name is Ms. Covington, and I am so excited to be a part of the RES family! I’ve previously taught first grade and am now thrilled to be teaching third grade. I earned my undergraduate degree from Elizabeth City State University and my master’s degree from NC State.
Outside of school, I love spending time with my son,  and our sweet Shih-poo, Lyla. A few of my favorite things include candles, shopping, and (of course!) Nutella.
I am thrilled to be here at RES and can’t wait to get to know each of you as we learn and grow together!
