Debbie Petfield

Mrs. Petfield is a veteran teacher that is both admired and adored. She has been teaching at Little Sparrows for twenty-eight years.

Mrs. Petfield’s faith is deep and strong. She oozes God’s love for children and knows every child is a gift from God. Mrs. Petfield nurtures her students and teaches them to be respectful, responsible, kind and honest to both themselves and to those around them. Mrs. Petfield lives in Thornwood with her husband, Dan, of 41 years and has three children and six grandchildren. Just this past year, Mrs. Petfield decided to retire from teaching and we said she could, if only she came back as a substitute teacher/assistant. She has been here regularly to help us this school year. When Mrs. Petfield is not subbing you can find her singing on her church’s worship team or up at her family cabin in the Adirondacks.
