The new fourth grader is attending Steve Shore Elementary School and since it's the first year without his father walking him to class, his father's fellow officers stepped in to help.
13 Action News spoke with Christa Swanger and she says since her husband's death LVMPD officers have maintained a relationship with Noah and helping him cope with the loss of his dad, including Monday's walk to school.
