Seventeen pre-school kids graduated on Wednesday from a special school program. All of them had cancer.

The kids wore white caps and white gowns (长袍) on graduation day. The ceremony was held at the Morgan Center in Hicksville.

“This is home,” said Fran Hirst, whose son, Bradley, suffered from leukemia (白血病).

Like his classmates, Bradley couldn’t attend regular schools. “He can’t go to school. He can’t go to malls. This is all he has,” said Hirst.

The Morgan Center provides a safe environment for these kids. “We give them friends and experiences and a happy place to go,” said Nancy Zuch.

Zuch and her husband, Rod, started the Morgan Center after their own daughter, Morgan, was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer in 2000.

Now cancer-free, Morgan, 16, handed the new graduates special medals (奖牌).“It’s such an amazing feeling, because I couldn’t have these experiences,” Morgan said.

On graduation day, the difficulties of a long year were replaced by smiles and cheers.

Bradley threw his graduation cap in the air just weeks after three months in the hospital for treatment. His mother said the chance to return to the Morgan Center kept Bradley going.

“Just to see your kid in normal surroundings, it’s everything,” said Hirst, as her son sat on the floor, playing with a dinosaur.
