Our annual salute to extraordinary schools and principals, the Blackboard Awards, begins this week with profiles of the Brownstone School, TriBeCa Community School and Wendy Levey, the longtime head of Epiphany Community Nursery School.

The Blackboard Awards are a way of highlighting a few, but certainly not all, of the outstanding schools in the city. The honorees are selected by editors at Manhattan Media, publisher of Our Town, West Side Spirit, Our Town Downtown and New York Family, in close consultation with education experts.

In the coming weeks, we will take a look at some of the remarkable elementary, middle and high schools in New York. In the spring, we"ll return with our annual salute to great teachers. Visit www.blackboardawards.com for more information.
