Lycoming College freshman Myles Biggs, a resident of Easton Pa., recently learned that he wrote a winning essay for the Samsung Hope for Education program. The contest asked students to comment on technology’s impact on their schools and on the environment.

Biggs graduated last year from Easton Area High School, which was one of 30 first-prize schools from across the country that will each receive more than $60,000 in technology, software, cash grants and educational television programming packages.

“I am very happy to be able to help enrich a high school that has given so much to me and to be able to leave my mark for future generations to benefit from,” Biggs said.

The prize package, courtesy of Samsung Electronics America, includes LCD high definition televisions, laptops, smart phones, digital camcorders and cameras, DVD players, LCD computer monitors and color printers.
