Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches.  Chicken Nuggest, fish sticks.  I really don't know much.  We qualified for reduced prices, and my girl likes everything they have.

Buy her a thermos and she can take soups,chili, and stuff like spagetti and ravaloi (sp)?? You could also try vegatable sticks with ranch dressing and wraps like turkey and cheeee. Just some quick suggestions off the top of my head.

Buy sturdy ziplock bags and fill partway with cold pasta salad. Show your daughter how to roll down the edges of the baggie so if forms a bowl. Include a fork. Make sure to add a ice pack to keep it cool. Adding a half peanut butter sandwich and some grapes will make her lunch complete!

Also - find out if there is a "No trading" policy in your childs lunchroom. If there isn't I strongly recommend you start the process of adopting one in your school. I did this at my school after observing children trading nutritious foods for junk! One boy had a coke and M&M's for lunch instead of the nutritious one his mother had packed. If the school won't cooperate, instruct your daughter to not share/trade.
