When more serious problems come up both nurses work together. Mrs. Messner handles the free lunch program, which is extremely time consuming, and the record keeping. Mrs. Snyder is at Abraxas High School two mornings a week and handles the students who need to be referred to a doctor, dentist or public health official.
