Jim Ulager

5th Grade Religion Teacher

 

I grew up outside Pittsburgh and moved to Vermont in 2004 with my wife to complete medical training. As a physician educator for most of the last 20 years, my primary joy has been the personal and moral growth of my students. “Who are we called to be towards ourselves, God, and our neighbor, and how does that manifest in our daily work?” I am thrilled to be looking at this question in a new way with our 5th grade religion students.
