These books, which chronicle the remarkable Lewis and Clark expedition, will provide our students with an immersive journey into one of the most significant explorations in United States history. Your support goes beyond simply providing books; you are opening windows of opportunity for us to dive deep into the stories of courage, discovery, and the complex interactions between explorers and Indigenous peoples during the early 19th century.\r\n\r\nYour donation means that every student in our class will have the chance to explore Stephen Ambrose's powerful narrative, learning about the incredible journey across the uncharted western territories of the United States. Through these novels, we will examine themes of bravery, cultural understanding, and the challenges of exploration, connecting historical experiences to our current understanding of diversity, perseverance, and the human spirit of adventure. Your generosity directly supports our educational mission of bringing history to life and inspiring young minds to understand the complex narratives that have shaped our nation.","fullyFundedDate":1727307927699,"projectUrl":"project/undaunted-courage/8817808/","projectTitle":"Undaunted Courage","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8729214_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727204995304","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8729214"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31432","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":175,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":61.3,"schoolId":31432,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Three Forks Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Three Forks Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/three-forks-school-district-j-24/three-forks-middle-school/31432"}
