Charles Dickens called Christmas that “rolling time of the year,” when homes and hearths are sources of revelry, songs, gift-giving, feasts, festive feelings, and a sense of doing for others, especially those down on their luck.

Several similar actions and qualities are what define NorthBay Healthcare’s annual Adopt-A-School program, which, on Wednesday morning, marked the 13th straight time several dozen company employees fanned out across the Padan Elementary campus, delivering gifts, classroom supplies and food to more than 30 classrooms at the Padan School Road campus.
