CRES School Song

Hey look us over, lend us an ear
Ready for standards, Spirit up to here!
We've got the pep and we've got the zest.
Whatever you say, we'll always say, that our school is the best!
So rah, rah for our school, rah rah for staff,
Rah, rah for parents and kids who try their best,
And we'll never be down and out again, to our school we'll be true
Oh Central Riverside, We love you!!!

 

C         R          E          S          T

Verse 1
When we come to school, we know we’re here to learn. Every time we walk through the door we yearn and yearn. For the knowledge that our teacher shares To the friends that show us how they really care

Chorus:
C         R          E          S          T      Dolphins ride the CREST.
C         R          E          S          T    Central Riverside is the best.
C         R          E          S          T

You know it guides the way.
C         R          E          S          T    Each and everyday.


Verse 2
When we come home our parents throw a smile. We’ve made them proud today, for a little while. Our futures are so bright, because we come to school Using our minds as our main tool.

Chorus


 Verse 3
If we work together and show our pride. We’ll know where to go on this ride. We’ve taken the challenge, to ride the crest. All the way down the waves, to our success.
