  Alexa will tell you the elementary lunch menu for today or tomorrow for Papillion LaVista Elementary Schools

I also created a free skill for kids to hear the daily school lunch menu. Such a morning time saver! https://github.com/jeffsheets/alexa-papio-lunch-menu

But yeah it’s still mostly a hardware solution looking for a problem
