Angelina Liwanag - Co- President
I’m Angelina, proud parent of a 7th grader (the youngest of my four kids—all of whom have gone through the Castro Valley district). I’m excited to serve as Co-President of the Creekside PTC this year and to continue building a strong bridge between parents and teachers.
I was honored as Chabot Elementary’s 2024 Parent Volunteer of the Year, and a lead parent volunteer for the CVHS choir/Madrigals. I continue to stay active with the Creekside Choir and my church ministry. After 21 years in the corporate world, I made the shift to be full time in our family business and enjoy giving back to our school community.
I love the beach, my grand-dog, and spending time with my big, beautiful family. Looking forward to a great year together!
Carmen Arteaga - Co-President
Hello Creekside Families!
My name is Carmen, and I’m excited to serve as Co-President of the Creekside Middle School PTC this year. I have two amazing kids—a 6th grader and a 7th grader—and I’ve always loved being involved in their schools. I've been library parent all through Elementary. I’m passionate about making a positive difference here at Creekside and creating a great experience for all our students and families.
When I’m not volunteering, I work as an office manager in Hayward. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and running. I’m looking forward to an amazing year and working together to support our school community. Thank you for your support!
Karen Lac -Treasurer
Hi, I'm Karen Lac, the PTC Treasurer for 2025-2026. I have two children, one of whom is a seventh grader at Creekside.
After seeing what a great first year my son had at Creekside, I am excited to be more involved with the school this year so that it continues to be a great place for students, both academically and socially.
I work as the librarian at one of the elementary schools in town so obviously my favorite hobby is to read. I also love to travel.
Jurga Abudeab – Hospitality Co-Chair
Hi, I’m Jurga, a proud parent of three boys, including a 7th grader (my middle child) at Creekside. I’m excited to serve as the Co-Hospitality Chair at Creekside Middle School and give back to our wonderful school community. As an insurance agent, I love connecting with people, building relationships, and supporting the community in meaningful ways. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and hosting or attending social gatherings. Between my kids, three cats, and one dog, I’m always happily busy.
