High‑school FCCLA students present "Motique," a student resource boutique serving Mosinee students
Summary
FCCLA advisors and students described Motique, a student‑managed resource boutique that provides clothing, hygiene items, school supplies and food to students, and recounted competition successes and community service at state and national FCCLA events.
Students and advisors from the Mosinee High School Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter presented the student‑run resource boutique Motique to the school board on Feb. 13 and described the club’s service activities and competition successes.
Susie (FCCLA advisor) introduced the students and described FCCLA as a career and technical student organization connected to family and consumer sciences. Jenna Bartnick, a senior and chapter president, explained that Motique began when students started managing donated food and clothing items in a hallway cabinet and later moved into a remodeled storage room near the high‑school entrance. "We rebranded the name to Motique…to really highlight that there's no stigma — anyone can go and take anything they need," Jenna said.
Students described Motique’s services: free clothing, school supplies, hygiene products and a confidential QR‑code ordering system that routes requests to administrators for private locker pickup. The presentation recounted the early volunteer work, grant applications for hygiene products, and the project’s evolution into a staffed and branded resource room with shelving, racks and student‑designed murals created by art students. Advisors credited student leaders including Maddie Hesse and Megan Garski for earlier organizing work.
The students also described FCCLA competitive and service activities: the chapter earned gold awards at regionals and competed at national conferences where members volunteered at Feeding America and boxed produce for local food banks. "We…repackaged like 8,000 pounds of food in just a couple hours," a student said of national conference service work. Advisors and the board praised student leadership and community partnerships that supported Motique’s growth.
Why it matters: Motique provides confidential, free resources for students and serves as a hands‑on learning opportunity for FCCLA members to develop service, leadership and project‑management skills.
Next steps: The board heard the presentation as part of a high‑school report item; no board action was required. Students and advisors were thanked for their work and recognized for regional and national competition placements.
