“It’s a real benefit for the students,” Glaze said in a news release. “Not only are they getting a really critical opportunity for community service, which is hard to come by sometimes in art, but also they’re learning a valuable and very marketable skill in mural painting.”

Hemet Fire Department firefighter/paramedic Dan Sprague watched as the pair worked.

“Thank you for redoing this and making it look real nice,” he said, according to the release. “It’s nice to see some life in it.”

The Hemet Rotary paid for supplies and offered $100 scholarships to the students.
