Plans for First Day of School from Cheshire Students

Two students, one exactly twice as old as the other, reflect on the first day of the 2011-12 school year.

Joshua Koppel, 7, is returning to Doolittle Elementary school as a second grader, Matthew Rosano, 14, begins his first day at Cheshire High School as a freshman.

Despite their age difference, both students had one thing in common; a fondness for their new backpacks. 

See what they're looking forward to during the school year that already has one "snow day" tacked onto the calendar courtesy of Hurricane Irene.
