Like to jump rope? Then the Hebron Hoppers are for you.
The
Hebron Hoppers were formed in 1989 at Hebron Elementary under the
leadership of the previous physical education teacher, Jeanne Humphrey.
Upon Mrs. Humphrey’s retirement in May of 2012, Michelle Holder, a
physical education teacher at Hebron, is now the head coach. The team
consists of current students and alumni of Hebron Elementary School. The
Hopper team performs at community events, parades, sporting events, and
school assemblies. All members of the Hebron Hoppers must maintain a
certain grade point average and display appropriate behavior both in and
out of school. It is the purpose of the Hebron Hoppers to offer a
quality jump rope program that not only develops technical jumping
skills but also promotes fitness and teamwork, builds self esteem, and
encourages good sportsmanship while helping to promote the sport of Jump
Rope. Growing up in this unique sport, these athletes develop excellent
leadership skills and become mentors for the younger jumpers.
