Perrine Elementary Expressive Arts Labyrinth

The Perrine Elementary Expressive Arts Labyrinth project aims to provide an alternative yet innovative approach to helping students focus on solving emotional issues impacting their ability to access their education. The students whose academics are faltering due to their focus on social emotional issue, such as, anger management; lack of impulse control, self-control, self-esteem; and the need to learn self-soothing techniques will have an opportunity to utilize the transformational attributes of a labyrinth. The labyrinth is a reconfiguration of an existing living plant maze-like feature to a classic labyrinth and is also used to help students with critical thinking meditation.
