Paulette received a letter of congratulations from President Bush for her song "United Are We" and for donating her time to work with the children at PS 1, the school nearest Ground Zero that was still operating after after 9/11.  She was invited to sing "United Are We" at PS 1 on March 6th, where fifty 7 and 8 year olds joined her.  The performance was seen several times on NY1 TV. On September 11, 2002, the entire student body of 650 children at PS 1 sang "United Are We" with Paulette, honoring the one year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.  USA Today, the New York Post, Associated Press and Reuters interviewed Paulette and wrote articles about her song, "United Are We" and singing with the children.
