Mars Area Elementary School fourth- and third-grade participants earned second place with 74 points in the Top Team Finish in the Elementary 3-4 Division.

LinguiSHTIK, which challenges students in grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and writing skills, asks players to compose sentences with proper grammar application and richer vocabulary. The competition, open to students in Grade 4-12, brings together students from schools Butler, Lawrence and Mercer counties through Midwestern Intermediate IV.
