Reeces Creek Elementary School in Killeen won the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Kids Walk email fundraising contest. Reeces Creek supporters sent the most emails of any school in the nation registered in the event.

The foundation awarded the school a $250 gift card for their success. This is the first year Reeces Creek took part in the kids walk and the school is the first in Killeen ISD to participate. The school raised funds for two weeks, culminating with an awareness-raising walk last October.
