Study Hall Gang is everything it claims to be! We are a collection of all different types of people, who, through coming out to meet each other on Friday nights, have bonded into a great local community. We laugh and have fun but we also listen and support each other when needed. When I broke my leg, I was blown away by the help that was offered to me by friends in the group. I totally recommend coming out to meet us for a night. We look forward to meeting you!

My husband and I and our two teenagers moved here in 2015. As the kids got older and did their own things, my husband and I found ourselves pretty bored. In 2019, a friend of a friend mentioned the Study Hall Gang. The very first night we went to Fitzgerald's, everyone was very inviting and so nice. After three weeks, we went to the “End of the summer” party, which was an absolute blast: great food, great company, and great dance music. We really love the group and I can't say enough good things about it.

I’ve been with the SHG for 3 years now. The phrase “Time flies when you’re having fun” certainly applies here. Between the Friday night get-togethers and the special events, your social calendar can be a full time job! I have met a number of different people from all different backgrounds. I may not go out every Friday night but it’s nice to know that I always have a place to go!

SHG is an example of what this country should be. We have people from all walks: religion, economic status, gender, sexual preferences, age. None of it matters: Everyone is welcome and no one is a stranger. The warmth of the members immediately makes you feel like you “belong.” There is no place like SHG!

The all-inclusive, welcoming energy of SHG helped me connect with progressive, open-minded community spirit of Montclair. I have cultivated beautiful friendships with SHG members who are from diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. The different get-togethers, whether it’s a summer picnic, international dinner, mardi gras party, or sci-fi film viewing etc. has made the SHG environment a fun place with a lot of variety where everyone is welcome to participate and enjoy with no discrimination! Thank you Study Hall Gang; you make the world a better place!
