This Thanksgiving, Frenchman’s Reef Resort partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of St. Thomas to celebrate the season of gratitude with creativity, community, and connection. Through a series of meaningful activities, the event fostered togetherness while emphasizing the importance of giving thanks and sharing joy.

The highlight of the day was the creation of a “Thankfulness Tree,” a collaborative art project where children decorated colorful leaves with personal messages of gratitude. From cherished family moments to favorite activities, each message reflected the unique perspectives of the young participants and served as a vibrant symbol of the season’s spirit.
