Week One


So excited for the start of school and cross country - it's going to be a fun season! Below are some quick updates before our first practice this week. The calendar link on this page is up-to-date with practice days and meet information (click on the event to see details). Looking forward to running with you on Tuesday!
  • Team night update - although the team night was on Aug 14 (sorry for the miscommunication), Gazelle Sports will still offer a discount on regular priced running shoes and spikes. Just mention you are with Holland Christian. If you have questions about shoes, please let me know - I am happy to help.
  • Practice this week is on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3-4:30. After school dismissal, please change into proper attire and running shoes. School bags, laptops, and other personal belongings should remain in the cubbies just outside of the locker room (not in the locker rooms or on the floor). After changing, we will meet just outside the back doors in the grass area at 3:05. 
  • Starting next week, our regular practice schedule will be be Mon-Thurs from 3-4:30pm following the same routine as above. No running shoes = no running.
  • Parent meeting will be on Thursday, Aug. 24 at 4:30. Please plan on attending or having a proxy collect the info for you.
  • Remind App. This will be our primary form of communication while we are at meets. It is a simple way for me to send out groups notifications with arrival times or any delays we might encounter. It also gives you the ability to contact me back if needed. Follow the directions below:

    1. Text the word "@mlambersto the number 81010
    2. You should receive a welcome text from Remind with a link to download the free app
    3. Once you install the app, you can go through the setup process to create an account (please ensure you setup notifications via text, not just email)
