Does anyone remember getting a physical lunch menu in the early-mid 2000's? I keep searching and cannot find any evidence that they existed online. It was a pamphlet-style booklet with a calendar inside detailing what they were serving each day of the month. At my elementary we usually had to ask the lunch ladies since they had few, and even then they would seldom give it to us. But I remember this one specific month they gave everyone one, and it was Cartoon Network themed. This had to have been 2004-2005 because the newest character I remember seeing was Bloo, but it also had Courage, Numbah One, Grim and other characters from that era. In the back it had an origami fortune teller that you cut out with CN themed fortunes. I remembered being so enamored with it that I took it everywhere and lost it. I know it was not a local thing because in small print I remember it saying printed in California (I'm from middle of nowhere Texas.), which made me want to send them a letter (idk why, I was a kid.) My best guess as to who might have made the menus would be School Nutrition Association, because this wonderfully preserved website from 2006 seems like the type of stuff I would see on those pamphlets. link
Interestingly, my mom says that each school district has a person who sets the menu and it isn't the same across all boards. Does anyone else remember getting these menus?
