About the Administration
David Brusak
Principal
 Dear Lakewood Creek Families,
My name is David Brusak and I would like to welcome you to Lakewood Creek School! I assumed the Principalship at Lakewood Creek during the 2008 school year. Prior to accepting the position, I served as the Principal of Goodwin Elementary school in West Aurora District 129 for a period of 8 years. Two years prior to my stay at Goodwin I served as a Dean at Washington Middle School in District 129 and taught at Lincoln Middle School for 9 years in North Berwyn, District 99. I have received my undergraduate degree in teaching from Northeastern Illinois University and an Educational Leadership graduate degree from Aurora University.
On a personal note, I have reside in Yorkville with my family – my wife Gina, my daughters Alyssa and Madison , my son Logan , and our German Shepard, Gunner. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends camping, snowboarding/skiing, traveling, wakeboarding, and attending my children’s’ sporting events – soccer, softball, baseball, cheerleading and track. I take pleasure in every aspect of music and am an avid runner who enjoys running races ranging from 5K’s to marathons.
Lakewood Creek will focus on the District and school’s mission, beliefs and objectives to guide our School Improvement Plan. Our focus will be to incorporate best practices in the classrooms and promote good character that will ultimately foster positive student achievement. Professional development revolving around best practices in reading, creating opportunities for staff to collaborate and discuss student achievement, interventions, data, etc., and furthering our efforts on creating an even stronger Character Counts program building wide are a few means that will lead us to our goals.
We look forward to working with our fabulous HSO and community to provide the students of Lakewood Creek with the best learning experience possible!
Regards,
Mr. Brusak
Molly Wepprecht
Assistant Principal
 I am proud to be part of Lakewood Creek Elementary. As assistant principal, I look forward to working with such a dedicated staff to provide the best possible educational program for our students.
Before coming to Lakewood Creek, I began my professional career 14 years ago within the Kankakee School District. I held many different positions in the district. I was a teacher in grades one through four. During this time, I received my Masters of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction as well as my Masters degree in Elementary Education. I served as a Student Services Coordinator for Kennedy Middle School for 2 years. While in Kankakee School District, I completed my AMS Montessori teaching certification and was fortunate to have taught for the Montessori Magnet Program.
I live with my husband and three daughters in the rural community of Essex. We keep very busy and enjoy spending time outdoors, camping, and playing sports.
