OSHKOSH (NBC 26) — An Oshkosh child is credited with helping his teacher who was suffering a stroke.

The Oshkosh Fire Department said Paxton, a student at Martin Luther School in Oshkosh, noticed his teacher, Mr. Martin, was having a difficult time communicating with his class.

Paxton immediately notified another adult that something was wrong with his teacher. It turned out that Mr. Martin was having a stroke. The fire department said Paxton's quick thinking saved his teacher's life.

Paxton received the Stroke Hero Award from Aurora BayCare.
