Start small (if your principal will let you). Solicit emails about school events from other teachers since emails can be copied and pasted right into the document you are using for publishing.

If possible, find an 8th grader who once worked on a newspaper or yearbook group to help you and share the task of finding stories, setting up the pages, etc. They are really more responsible than you might imagine as long as you monitor behind them on everything and read through progress every day or two.
