  We consider products of $\psi$ classes and products of $\omega$ classes on
$\overline{M}_{0,n+3}$. For each product, we construct a flat family of
subschemes of $\overline{M}_{0,n+3}$ whose general fiber is a complete
intersection representing the product, and whose special fiber is a generically
reduced union of boundary strata. Our construction is built up inductively as a
sequence of one-parameter degenerations, using an explicit parametrized
collection of hyperplane sections. Combinatorially, our construction expresses
each product as a positive, multiplicity-free sum of classes of boundary
strata. These are given by a combinatorial algorithm on trees we call 'slide
labeling'. As a corollary, we obtain a combinatorial formula for the $\kappa$
classes in terms of boundary strata.
  For degree-$n$ products of $\omega$ classes, the special fiber is a finite
reduced union of (boundary) points, and its cardinality is one of the
multidegrees of the corresponding embedding $\Omega_n: \overline{M}_{0,n+3}\to
\mathbb{P}^1\times \cdots \times \mathbb{P}^n$. In the case of the product
$\omega_1\cdots \omega_n$, these points exhibit a connection to permutation
pattern avoidance. Finally, we show that in certain cases, a prior
interpretation of the multidegrees via tournaments can also be obtained by
degenerations.
