The Knippa Junior High Gifted and Talented program had the opportunity to go to Mr. Gatti's Pizza in Uvalde to explore how a small business operates. The owners showed the students how to create a monthly budget that includes operating and expenses, as well as budgeting for the prizes. They also showed the group how to repair the game machines by taking the group behind the scenes. They concluded the trip by taking the students on a tour of the kitchen and then letting them build their own pizzas!
