The plants sold were all grown and maintained at the Dinuba High FFA Club. Pictured above are two members of the Dinuba High FFA Club tending to their plants.

Sentinel staff report
Ruiz 4 Kids is helping the dreams of continued education for current and future college students as they announced last week that 336 Central Valley students will be the receiving 2019 Ruiz 4 Kids Scholarships.
Of the students receiving scholarships this year, graduating high school seniors receive $1,000 while current college transfer students receive $2,500. In addition, scholarship recipients also receive a generous number of El Monterey product coupons – for those quick lunches or late- night study snacks.
This year’s total of $600,000 sets a new record for the Ruiz 4 Kids Scholarship Program. Last year Ruiz 4 Kids awarded $575,000 in scholarships to high school seniors and college transfer students.
“Ruiz 4 Kids has always believed in helping local students’ pursuit of higher education,” said Kimberly Goble Beck, Ruiz 4 Kids Scholarship Program Chairman. “They are our future teachers,
tradesmen, CEO’s, doctors, contractors, artists and many other professions. After putting in years of hard work into their education, the cost of tuition or even a textbook should not prohibit them from achieving their dream.”
All scholarship dollars are raised via the annual Louis F. RuizGolfInvitational.Theyvery first scholarships were awarded in 1987 when Ruiz 4 Kids raised $2,500. Since then, close to $4 million in scholarships have been awarded to students in the areas where Ruiz Foods Team Members live and work: Dinuba, California; Denison, Texas; and Florence, South Carolina.
Ruiz 4 Kids is a non-profit organization founded in 1991 when employees of Ruiz Food Products, Inc. approached Founder Fred Ruiz asking him to help them explore ways to assist families with children in need. Today, Ruiz 4 Kids works to fund two children/education programs: scholarships to high school seniors and community college students and the Mini- Grants for Teachers program.

“Going on this trip really motivated me. Being a freshman, it was really eye-opening,” Fernandez said. “Not only did we get to see all the colleges, we got to meet admission officers. They gave us inside tips on what they look for, like extra-curricular activities and make sure to be passionate about what you do, and the personal statements to make sure we get accepted.”
Fernandez said of all the colleges they visited, he’d like to
attend Brown.
“That would be my dream
school,” Fernandez said.
Mares said there are talks to
take a trip to Europe and Isreal. “There are so many opportunities available, gatekeepers like myself provide those opportunities,” Mares said. “God is so good to provide me an opportunity and be able to meet and work with people like Dr. Thusu and empower them. The
sky is the limit.”
