Students created their own ornaments, and each tree featured a plaque identifying the school. After each group completed its tree decoration, the children were treated to hot chocolate, cookies, candy canes, and a walk through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/gardens\/adventure-garden\/index.php\">Everett Children\u2019s Adventure Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the program, three schools were selected for the best decorations based on creativity of design and materials used for the ornaments. They were rewarded with a return visit to the Garden to view our annual <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/hts15\">Holiday Train Show<\/a><\/em>.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nHere are the 2015 winners:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside; font-size: larger;\">\n<li>1st Place: PS 46, represented by New York City Councilmember Ritchie Torres<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 15px;\">2nd Place: South Bronx Charter School for International Cultures and Arts, represented by Speaker of the New York City Council Melissa Mark-Viverito<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">3rd Place: Visitation School, represented by Senator Jeffrey Klein<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Children\u2019s Holiday Tree Garden is dedicated to all students, teachers, parents, and school administrators in the Bronx.
