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.

To add to the festivities, Frenchman’s Reef gifted turkeys to the children as a way to support family traditions and enhance their Thanksgiving celebrations. This thoughtful gesture was part of the resort’s ongoing partnership with the Boys & Girls Club, reflecting its dedication to enriching the lives of children and families in the community.
Martin Smith, Managing Director at Frenchman’s Reef, shared his appreciation for the day: “This event is about coming together and celebrating what makes us thankful. It’s inspiring to see the creativity and kindness of these children, and we’re honored to support their families during this special time of year.”
