KlaasKids Foundation/Carden Academy of Almaden

Carden Academy of Almaden will host a KlaasKids Print-A-Thon to promote and educate families about child safety and fingerprint and photograph children at no cost. Each participating child will receive a comprehensive packet of child safety tools. Using state of the art computerized systems that were originally designed for a federal law enforcement agency each child will receive digitized fingerprints, an updated photograph, a DNA Collection Kit developed by the California DNA Laboratory, pro-active child safety tips and a 9-point plan on what to do if your child disappears.

Nationally recognized child safety expert Marc Klaas, the father of kidnap/murder victim Polly Klaas will attend and participate in the Print-A-Thon event. "Child Safety is one of our community’s most important issues, but it is one we tend to take for granted until a tragedy happens."
