Maintenance of Kindergarten Yard (from my Lang-8 posts)

Yesterday, I participated in the maintenance of the yard that belongs to my daughter's kindergarten. There were about forty fathers helping out. I was assigned to cleaning the ditches around the yard. I got rid of withered leaves and mud out of the ditches. It took about one and a half hours to finish the work.

help out …（人を）助ける、（仕事などを）手伝う [with ...]
ditch … 用水路、排水溝
withered leaf … 枯れ葉
