Menlo is a student at Third Street School and a minor character in Recess. He is Miss Lemon's assistant, or 'aid,' as he likes to say. He has appeared in several episodes.
Personality
Menlo is obsessed with organization. He lives by his planner, and distains people who are disorganized. He is good with the filing system and spends most of his time inside the office, rarely going outside to recess as he's too busy. Menlo was originally a bad student raging havoc at recess, but his personality changed permanently after he was "randomly chosen" as the 'Principal for a day'.
Relationships
Randall Weems
Menlo is friendly with Randall, though they don't do much together. They took over the playground in the episode "Partners in Crime." He was with Menlo in Lawson's Crew in the episode "Lawson and his Crew". Randall was also at Menlo's birthday party.
Although Menlo is sometimes an antagonist to the main characters, he is normally a decent character. He was also the best friend of T.J. back when they were four. T.J. still attends Menlo's birthday party every year. He does so because Menlo felt sad at seeing their friendship die, so T.J. promised he would go to his birthday party every year no matter what. Menlo has a crush on Ashley A., which is brought up in "Officer Mikey" and "Partners in Crime".
Appearance
Menlo wears a button-down shirt with a blue clip-on tie to school. He wears black glasses and has brown hair.
