i also agree with the bbq or pork idea, either the pulled pork for lunchtime sandwiches or sliced brisket(in sauce) for dinner..do you have a purveyor(food supplier) you can go through?..you mentioned it was in a school..thought maybe you could go through the schools food supplier..they have wonderful bbq pulled pork or sliced bbq brisket products that all you really you just need to do is heat(even microwavable).do you have access to chafers to keep the food hot? they also will carry a variety of sheet cakes, like sara lee etc, and assorted brownies, cookie bars and cookies..mac and cheese comes ready to heat and serve..they will have cooked meatballs, pasta salads, rolls..virtually everything you would need to pull this off..sometimes schools go for the lowest bidder and don't always offer the best products, but i think its worth the shot in your case to talk to the supplier..maybe start with someone in the kitchen. they could let you know what products are available..it could make all the difference between being stressed out or it done not only nicely but efficiently and easy. if its not possible with the school, do you know anyone who has a restaurant? same thing would apply..talk to them!

also some suppliers carry a honey stung fried chicken product that is fully cooked(that i've used), just need to heat..there are so many products that you would only have to heat, plate or bowl, not actually cook...good luck!
