Lunch time is always a challenge, and don't get me started about the fact that no matter how hard I work, Joy rarely even EATS any of the lunch I pack. She says her friends talk to her through lunch, and she can't get them to stop. Anyway, I think one of the world's best ideas for packing school lunches is Bento! The Japanese really knew what they were doing with these. There are all varieties of little lunch boxes with sections (or even drawers!) for food - so you can easily pack healthy options (aka last night's leftovers). Check out this site for a zillion really fun pictures and ideas. They even have special categories for gluten free, vegetarian, and more.
