Some schools allow an optional third recommendation through commonapp. If they do, you can invite her just like you did with teachers/counselors and she will submit the rec online.

If that’s not an option on commonapp, you should prepare envelopes with school addresses and stamps and give them to this person. She should print, sign, and send them. Oh a phone number would be good to add.

Sometimes sending an additional recommendation is discouraged, but particularly in a case where the letter hopefully offers a different perspective than any of your teachers had, it’s worth sending anyway.
