What do you pack for lunch for school/daycare?

I need ideas.

DS is incredibly picky and most of what he eats are warm foods like chicken nuggets, Mac and cheese and spaghetti. He will be going afternoons so I can prepare his food right before he leaves if I can find some kind of container that keeps food hot. Does anyone have something like this? I'm not sure if they have a microwave in the classroom. I have to ask.

What snacks do you send in? Do you send juice boxes or a sippy cup? DS will be 4 and hasn't used a sippy cup n a long time. Do they have big boy cups with straws I can send him with maybe?

The teachers said I could send in some new foods. Sometimes they are more likely to try something new at school, rather than at home.

DD has a sippy cup there that stays there. I don't send a juice box. Some of her lunches and snacks:

pierogies
pizza
grilled cheese
sometimes a sandwich w/cold cuts
yogurt
raisins
fresh fruit
"grammy sammy'
goldfish crackers
