PUTNAM— A Putnam Science Academy student, Alex Hutchins, won the Voice of Democracy audio-essay contest.
Established in 1947, the Voice of Democracy audio-essay program provides high school students with the unique opportunity to express themselves in regards to a democratic and patriotic-themed essay.  Each year, nearly 40,000 9-12 grade students from across the country enter to win their share of $2.1 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the program.
This year’s topic was “Why My Vote Matters.” At Putnam Science Academy, Language Arts classes used the prompt as an assignment to strengthen their writing and speaking skills. Seven Putnam Science Academy students entered their essays into the contest.
Hutchins’ essay will move on to be judged at the district level. If her essay wins at that level, it will be sent on to the state level, and from there the national level.

Still Shining
Alexis Yetna, a 6-8 freshmen at the University of South Florida, is continuing to shine for the Bulls. The PSA alum helped lead USF passed Florida A&M 69-59 last week as the Bulls are now 4-2 on the season. Yetna led USF with 15 points and 10 rebounds recording his 2nd straight double-double while also showing up big even in a loss to Georgetown with 11 points and a career high 17 rebounds. The forward from Paris, France, totaled 391 points in his time at PSA and helped lead the Mustangs to the 2017 National Final Four with a 34-7 record, well enough for #4 in the country. “No surprise what Alexis is doing in the college ranks” said PSA Head Coach Tom Espinosa. “He is the best rebounder is PSA basketball history. His motor and heart are like no other player I have coached before.” Yetna currently is 3rd on USF with 9.2 points per game and he leads the team in rebounding by a wide margin with 9.2 rebounds per game and a total of 55 rebounds in 6 games.
