Kids are making their own moccasins!

There's just nothing like a bunch of preteens making their own shoes, not to mention their own shoelaces and a license to have their own bootstraps and a connection with the ground that is their own, dare I say (to stretch a metaphor beyond what it normally can stand).

The seventh graders at our daughter's school made these beautiful moccasins after the winter break.  (Photo by Elias Feldman.)
