You've gotten some very good ideas from others already.  I thought I'd
just add that I just started with Scribus on Windows about two or three
weeks ago and used it successfully to prepare a quick reference card for
a conference at which I presented last week.  I can't speak to its ease
of use at the 4th or 5th grade levels (they may have a better handle on
all of this than the rest of us!), but I found it quite helpful in a
short period.  It was helpful to go through a tutorial to remind myself
about page layout programs; then all my Appleworks GS page layout memory
returned.
