The children were greeted by ribbons of green, Sandy Hook Elementary School color.</s>LT. KEITH WHITE, MONROE, CONNECTICUT POLICE: Most of the kids were excited at seeing friends they hadn't seen in a while. They were anxious to get into the hall ways and meet up with the other kids. You can see the teachers had the same response. They were excited to see the students all together.</s>SARAH SWANSIGER, MOTHER OF TWO SANDY HOOK STUDENTS: Really any anxiety I had was myself. Once seeing the kids were excited to be back and happy and the environment of the school, I can't think of a better place to leave them. If I can't be with them, those teachers and the staff, and everybody are amazing.</s>JOHNS: Inside the building, the kids found classrooms that replicate their old ones right down to the crayons in their desks. They also found a familiar face, former Sandy Hook Principal Donna Pajay came out of retirement as an interim principal. Even the school's beloved pet turtle, Shelly, made the transition to the new Sandy Hook Elementary. A New York couple from a ritzy neighborhood behind bars and police say they are shocked about what they found inside the couple's apartment. We are on the case.
