We reflected on the important role that parents, grandparents and older members of our families and communities play in our lives, sharing their love, guidance and support. It was a wonderful opportunity to show gratitude for all they do and to celebrate the wisdom they bring to our world. ![🌟](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/te0/1/16/1f31f.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/827592236_1759966462798982_2350047254035151396_n.jpg)](https://st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2026-09-30-cookies-with-chase) Previous ### [Cookies with Chase](https://st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2026-09-30-cookies-with-chase) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/838042482_1767014892094139_706151554946216754_n.jpg)](https://st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2026-10-06-cookies-with-chase) Next ### [Cookies with Chase ](https://st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2026-10-06-cookies-with-chase) - [![Local Offer](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/partners/Local-Offer-logo-small.jpg)](https://www.durham.gov.uk/localoffer) - [![Click CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/partners/Click_CEOPS-Footer.gif)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/Safety-Centre) ##### Location St Stephen's C.E.
