Parents Corner: Dory and David Levine
The PTO has received a warm response to introducing parents who are doing interesting things so we will keep the introductions flowing. Please send us suggestions on the featured parent(s) or teacher.
Dory and David Levine are the parents of Haley in the Two’s Room and Thomas in the young toddler room. Dory has a successful catering business called Dorian’s catering and David is President of a great company called NuGo.
NuGo’s mission is to help people make better snack
choices without compromising on flavor. We never use hydrogenated oils or
trans fats in our products and, unlike our competitors, we never use waxy
vegetable fat compounds in place of real, delicious chocolate. We use only
all natural, top quality ingredients like real milk chocolate and
antioxidant-rich real dark chocolate to make our bars the best tasting,
healthiest options available.
NuGo is an independent food company dedicated to producing the finest,
healthiest, most delicious products. It was created by people who were
looking for better snack options. NuGo is the fastest growing Lifestyle
Brand in the Natural Foods category.
Today NuGo makes 7 different kinds of bars for different healthy lifestyles
including our NuGo Family line, gourmet NuGo Dark, completely organic NuGO
Organic, our certified gluten free NuGO Free line, plus many more. We
continually respond to our customers’ requests for new and improved
nutritional products with exceptional flavor and taste. Healthier choices
from the nutrition conscious folks at NuGo will be at a store near you soon
with more products debuting each year.
