It's been almost five months since the Columbine High School massacre where 13 students were killed at the hands of two of their peers.
The images of that day are still fresh in the minds of parents, students and educators across the country.
With the school year set to begin next week, school officials in the city of Roanoke are taking several steps to make all involved feel a little safer.

Following the Columbine shootings last year, schools across the country were plagued with bomb scares and threats.

Having an effective communications system during crisis situation is also an area where changes have been made.

Banana splits took over the parking lot of the Salem Ice Cream Parlor as the Sunday School on Wheels sponsored an event to make the largest sundae around.
Kids of all ages divided into five groups, working together to make the 360 foot dessert.
The fastest team made 150 feet of the sundae lickety-split in a sweet time of under two minutes.
