We have a visual arts magazine called Our Canvas: LINK
The student who created it used Canva (students shared work via her Canva team) and she spent TONS of time working on it with other students and some teachers, too. Then our Communications dept put it into issuu. We also popped a pdf into Google Drive and shared it that way: LINK
You may also be interested in checking out Shanda McCloskey's Pencil Pusher. This is a print newspaper geared toward elementary school students, but her design eye is incredible. They may get some design ideas from it. You can request copies of the September PRINT version by emailing theshanda@yahoo.com
