Jingle Jam

set for families

A family dessert theater presentation, Jingle Jam is 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, at Cascade View Elementary School, 34816 S.E. Ridge Street, Snoqualmie.

Jingle Jam is a community dessert theater for parents and children in kindergarten through fifth grade. It is a media-driven Christmas program with live emcees, lots of crowd interaction, games, prizes and free family pictures. The cost is $1; all of the money goes to the benevolence fund of Lifepointe Community Church to help people and families in need in the Snoqualmie Valley. Jingle Jam is designed to encourage families to have a shared experience about the true meaning of Christmas so that they can talk about it throughout the rest of the season.
