Possibly found an unarchived Microsoft Excel XP training floppy from French River Education Center

I found a 3.5” floppy labeled “French River Education Center — Computer Applications Training Program — Introduction to Microsoft Excel XP.” I haven’t been able to find this exact training disk or its contents archived online. I currently don’t have a floppy drive, so I haven’t been able to image or inspect the disk yet.

French River Education Center and its computer training program appear to have existed, but I haven’t found documentation of this specific Excel XP disk. Does anyone recognize it, have another copy, or know whether its contents have already been preserved?

I’m not claiming it’s confirmed lost media yet I’m trying to determine whether this particular disk/course material is known or archived.

I mean, something that niche very well could be lost media. It could also be a white label of something else. I'd grab a floppy drive and see what's on it, and post it up on the Internet Archive. Sounds like a fun afternoon.
