Most of us can point to that one teacher who truly made a difference, who set us on a path we otherwise may not have chosen.
Great teachers do make all the difference. That's why recognition such as that from the Wheeling Area Chamber of Commerce is so important.
Last week, the chamber honored Brandy LaFlam, third-grade teacher at Woodsdale Elementary; Marcy Hartzell, eighth grade teacher at St. Michael Parish School; and Thomas Perdziola, math teacher at Wheeling Catholic Central High School.
We join the chamber in thanking them for making a difference.
