Suggested subject: Request to Add THINK OUTSIDE Boxes as an Approved Vendor

Dear [School Administrator or Educational Specialist],

I would like to request that THINK OUTSIDE Boxes be added as an approved vendor so that I may use available school funds to purchase its outdoor education program for my child, [Student Name].

THINK OUTSIDE provides hands-on outdoor learning kits for children ages 4-16+. The program combines educational booklets, practical activities, and age-appropriate outdoor gear across themes, such as navigation, weather, shelter, first aid, nature, and wildlife. Families can choose the Junior program for ages 4-7 or the older program for ages 7-16+.

The company works with charter schools and homeschool programs nationwide and can provide the documents needed for vendor approval, including a W-9, certificate of insurance, pricing information, and ordering instructions.

More information is available at www.thinkoutsideboxes.com. Please let me know what steps are required to add THINK OUTSIDE as a vendor or whether you need any additional information from the company.

Thank you,
[Parent or Guardian Name]
