Congratulations on your Graduation, Jason!

As Jason prepares to graduate, we are excited to celebrate the many ways he has made our school community brighter. Jason is well known for his karaoke and dance performances, especially his signature "Carlton Banks" moves. A big fan of Glee and Cobra Kai, he is always ready to put on a show. His great sense of humor shines through in his playful personality and the many silly and memorable nicknames he’s created for staff.

Jason has a strong work ethic, holding several jobs, including at Chartwell’s at New England Tech and the Hilton Garden Inn, and he also enjoys landscaping work alongside his dad. At Sargent, Jason is a reliable helper in the greenhouse, where he takes pride in caring for plants and helping with tasks such as raking and mulching. Jason has also made impressive strides in independence, mastering functional life skills and classroom jobs like vacuuming, wiping down tables, and stocking the school store. When working in the store, Jason is personable and professional with customers and takes his responsibilities seriously — especially when carefully checking dollar bills to make sure they are “real.”

Outside of school, Jason is even a TikTok micro-influencer, spreading smiles and positivity to his growing audience. Most importantly, Jason is a kind and supportive friend who looks out for others, often going out of his way to help classmates who need extra support.

We are so proud of Jason and all he has accomplished. As he graduates from Sargent Center, we know he will continue to bring joy, hard work, and positivity to everything he does. Congratulations, Jason — we will miss you!

Congratulations on your Graduation, Chris!

During his time at Sargent, Chris made remarkable strides toward independence in his daily routines. He developed skills in shopping, and cooking, building confidence in managing important daily living tasks. In his work trials, Chris learned to accept feedback—an achievement that reflects his maturity and resilience.

Chris also became an active and enthusiastic member of the community. What once began as hesitation to leave school has transformed into eager participation in weekly outings. From shopping trips, donations, and visits to the post office and farmer’s market, to strawberry picking, recycling, bowling, swimming at the community pool, and even sailing, Chris embraced new experiences with growing confidence.

Perhaps most meaningful has been Chris’s growth in relationships. He developed strong, meaningful connections with his teachers and gained trust in those around him. Chris has also been a wonderful friend to his classmates.

Always eager to help, he proudly took on “teacher tasks” like copying, stapling, filing, and shredding. His creativity shone through in the incredible Power Rangers and favorite characters he crafted out of cardboard. He loves music and dancing, and Halloween was always his favorite day — an opportunity to dress up and, of course, collect plenty of candy!

Chris has grown in so many ways that have been deeply meaningful to him and his family. Congrats, Chris! We are so proud of you and all you have accomplished. Your Sargent family will be cheering you on as you begin this next chapter.
