Ms. Heilbron is very happy to be returning to Stargate for her seventh year. Kris had taught for three years in an elementary school in Georgia, where she also received her Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education. After that, she took a brief break from the education field and moved to France where she lived for almost two years. Kris is currently working on her Administrative License, as well as an Education Specialist degree with an emphasis in gifted instruction, through a program at the University of Colorado, Denver, with expected graduation in April of 2010. Although she is a native of California, she has lived in Colorado for almost seven years. During her free time, she loves to have adventures. Some of her favorite activities include skiing, white water rafting, and mountain biking, hiking, and travelling to new and exciting places.
