Narrative:
Student was on the landing rollout and over-corrected to the right; resulting in a drift off of the runway. The piper PA-28-140 is not equipped with toe brakes on either side; I took control of the aircraft and attempted to 'jump' a small area of debris beside the runway with what little flying speed remained. The aircraft's propeller missed the debris; but the aft underside of the empennage hit said debris; resulting in minor damage. No other property or persons were injured. After making sure the aircraft was still airworthy it was flown back to its home base for maintenance.
