Art class students and school "Leadership Class" members worked hard for month's preparing ornaments for the Broadway's Christmas tree entry in the annual "Christmas in the Park" tree.

Each year, Plaza de Cesar Chavez, in downtown San Jose, is transformed into a holiday fantasy with over 60 musical and animated exhibits and glittering lights and the 60-foot City Community Giving Tree. Some of the original displays are housed in one of the largest exhibits, the Lima Train, and include a melting snowman, caroling mice and elf woodcrafters. The Victorian Village, a 25-foot growing Christmas tree surrounded by the animated Nutcracker Suite exhibit and Santa House welcome park visitors. Visitors enter a winter wonderland of lights, songs and entertainment by local schools and groups, and stroll through a forest of trees decorated by San Jose schools, community groups and businesses.

Broadway was thrilled when Nizam won first place.
